Freedom First Bitcoiner on Nostr: I recently had a conversation about AI with a middle-aged farmer from rural Alberta. ...
I recently had a conversation about AI with a middle-aged farmer from rural Alberta. He’s a smart guy who manages a large farm, and he mentioned that he expects AI to make his job about 20% more efficient over the next 5–10 years.
Personally, I’ve been using tools like GROK and ChatGPT regularly, and I listen to a few tech-focused podcasts. I’d say I’m ahead of the average person when it comes to adopting AI.
That’s why I think his 20% estimate is way off. In my view, we’re more likely to see that level of efficiency improvement per year, not spread over a decade.
Curious to hear others’ thoughts — is 20% over 10 years realistic, or are we underestimating the pace of AI's impact?
