"AI will solve the simple problems so humans can focus on the hard ones" is such a ridiculous fail at understanding anything about how humans acquire skills and knowledge.
Humans HAVE TO solve simple problems and then advanced problems in order to learn how to solve the really hard ones. This is not optional.
Good luck solving any difficult problems in the future with a generation of people who spent their entire education typing every problem into a chatbot's prompt box.

The only way someone can seriously make such a nonsense claim is, if they don't have any idea what they're talking about, probably because they never had to learn a difficult skill in their lives, or if they're deliberately trying to create an uneducated underclass for the near future that is easy to control because it has no means of figuring out anything that isn't served to them by a (corporate or state controlled) chatbot.

@aesthr@wandering.shop the "simple problem" is a rich person asking the machine for something. The "hard problem" is a human completing said task while pretending the machine did it.

@aesthr@wandering.shop I wish my undergrad students understood this.
