The critical distinction is between AI as 'chefs' (creative, coming up with recipes) versus AI as 'cooks' (executing existing recipes without mistakes), where the underappreciated opportunity is AI-as-cooks because cook-level performance only requires 110 IQ and the global weighted average IQ is around 90 due to infrastructure disparities, making super-cook AI immediately transformative.

Evidence Quote
