For the last-invention story to hold, people would have to become unnecessary even as partners or supervisors to AIs. [...] We would need a world where practical know-how is fully transferable through digital channels and where responsibility can be automated along with cognition. That is not the world we live in. [...] Humans are not becoming redundant; they are becoming the world's most decisive bottlenecks. Unverified source (2026)
