I agree comparative advantages can still important, but your comment implied a key part of the picture is “models can’t do some important thing”. (E.g. you talked about “The frame is less accurate in worlds where AI is really good at some things and really bad at other things.” but models can’t be really bad at almost anything if they strictly dominate humans at basically everything.)
And I agree that at the point AIs are >5% better at everything they might also be 1000% better at some stuff.
I was just trying to point out that talking about the number human equivalents (or better) can still be kinda fine as long as the model almost strictly dominates humans as the model can just actually substitute everywhere. Like the number of human equivalents will vary by domain but at least this will be a lower bound.
