AI's impact beyond coding will take time to diffuse

A majority of the impact of AI so far has been in the software engineering and coding domain, and this is yet to make an impact on the broader economy. As an example, so far, Waymo was more expensive than Uber and Lyft, but recently, in my experience in SF, they are now consistently ~25% lower. The same will happen in other domains, but will take time for the diffusion because the bar for an AI system to replace a human process is much higher. We expect a much higher accuracy from automation than from doing the work ourselves. That requires solving a lot of edge cases, which is tedious and takes time. The problem there is again not how to solve it, but to understand what are those edge cases and the context of how these systems interface with the real world.
