> It doesn't matter if Bob can be normal. There was no point to him being paid to be on the program.

Yeah, I'm surprised at the number of people who read the article and came away with the conclusion that the program was designed to churn deliverables, and then they conclude that it doesn't matter if Bob can only function with an AI holding his hand, because he can still deliver.

That isn't the output of the program; the output is an Alice. That's the point of the program. They don't want the results generated by Alice, they want the final Alice.

It’s a fairly long article, maybe they had it summarized and came to that conclusion…
