I'm having a hard time understanding what the writer is trying to accomplish with this (weird) post, especially the "IQ" part on the side (wtf?). Yes, the goal posts change as the technology changes (this is true of ALL technology), and it turns out that people keep underestimating with each release of this technology what it would actually take to replace a job.

What on earth does "IQ: Yes" mean at the end??

It's a common joke to reply to something with 'yes' that doesn't make sense for the question asked. When used in place of a number, it just means extremely high, as high as it will go, that no matter what number you need it's a 'yes', and so on.

		I heard it with budgets first. If your budget is "yes", it means your boss says yes whenever you ask for money. By analogy if your AI's IQ is "yes" the AI can do anything you can think of. It's also possible to have a budget of "no" and this is much more common.
