Experiment: Best AI fails to produce acceptable work on 97.5% of freelance tasks
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 6th, 2026 12:55 PM Author: LathamTouchedMe They assigned a variety of freelance tasks (programming, research, architectural design etc.) to different AI's. The best AI produced adequate results (someone would be willing to pay for it) in just 2.5% of tasks. Basically, no better than a non-professional clown using google to figure something out. The bar for "adequate" was also very low. Current AI is maybe a tiny productivity boost (if that). It won't be able to replace professionals like myself.

Date: February 6th, 2026 1:14 PM Author: LathamTouchedMe That's fair. It's just that the way AI is sold by its evangelists you would think it's much more than just a hammer. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5831741&forum_id=2Vannesa#49651032) |

Pretty sure the difference is that in another 10 years, a hammer will still just be a tool that is totally unable to autonomously guide itself into building anything useful without active human use. Just like it has been for the last 5,000+ years and counting.
Wanna make the same bet about AI? |

Of course not. I'm absolutely terrified of AI. My OP is a ray of hope. I don't want to be replaced. |
