Intelligence is cheap now because it isn't very good, and it will be cheap again once there are billions of AIs. In between, AI will be priced like the workers it replaces.

The tasks AIs can perform are expanding rapidly, and on the hundreds in my dataset I find the compute required is already cheap.

Comparative advantage guarantees that human labor is worth something post-AGI, but not that it is worth more than the worker's leisure.
