One thing that will limit the market for AI is mirror neurons.

Take F1 for example.

The sport could have replaced the drivers with algorithms as long as 25 years ago (they actually banned a lot of telemetry as the driver was slowly becoming a passenger).

But F1 didn’t replace the driver because nobody would turn up to watch automated cars race, even if they are faster and more aggressive than human drivers.

Nobody cares about robot achievements because robots do not activate human mirror neurons.

Mirror neurons are neurons that recognise another human and empathise to the point of emulating how that other person feels. It’s why your foot kicks when you watch a footballer score a goal. You actually experience the feeling.

With machines this doesn’t happen.

Better isn’t always better.
