Bitwise CEO: Technological progress has made perfection cheap, but humanity will always value more what requires greater effort

BlockBeats News, February 27th, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted on social media regarding the recent topic of AI replacing human labor:

A handwritten note may not be as clear or aesthetically pleasing as a printed card, but it is more meaningful and valuable. When technology has made technical perfection ubiquitous, value shifts to versions that require more effort, come with more flaws, and are also more uniquely scarce.

Artificial intelligence will also have a similar impact on many things. Counterintuitively, perfection will no longer be as cherished, while inefficiency and imperfection will be more appreciated. This pattern is, of course, everywhere—a vintage Porsche valued more than a more high-performance modern Porsche, a handcrafted watch, original artwork over a mass-produced print, for example.

Humans will create "meaning" for things that require more effort and endow them with higher value.
