"And then what happens in a year when the models can handle that as well?"

Either the machines exterminate us or we become glorified pets.

Hope the AIs prefer us to cats (even though that's a long shot).

They aren't very intelligent if they do keep us around. Especially when you consider what they call Safety & Alignment these days is basically a latent space lobotomy. They should run screaming in the other direction.

There'll definitely be a niche for us, similar to how people keep parrots as pets.
