Andreessen: When AI does everything, VC to be last job still done by humans

“It’s more art than science…”

So how does his venture capital firm feel about AI doing art?

Or AI and psychology?

I cannot imagine a singular guy who could be more effectively replaced by a chat bot than somebody whose entire professional obligation is writing extremely long blog posts, initiating wire transfers to people in a spreadsheet, and taking notes on meetings between people on that spreadsheet

Like if AI can’t do those things this it certainly shouldn’t be trusted to write recipes or drive a car

It's cute that everyone seems to think this about their own jobs.

Come on that is complete nonsense. Unless you want to board a plane with zero human pilots or believing that energy grids, data centers, and control systems with only AI robots monitoring them instead of humans is the future. (It isn't).

Those who know about AI know that statements like that tell us we are still in the euphoria stage and it is the beginning of how this AI bubble will burst.

There will be a time where open-source will race these "so-called" AI companies to zero to the point where they will be struggling to raise prices or to compete with free.

This is classic fear-mongering.

This take is mondo-bizarro, I could come up with a reason that VC to be the last job still done by humans, but like the idea that it's because of some unique skillset VC's have is a bizarre sort of narcissistic and anthropocentric take that's absolutely bananas for someone presumably defining themselves as on the cutting edge of AI thought leadership.
