Anthropic's head of economics, Peter McCrory, wrote in an X essay on Wednesday that by all accounts, "AI has caused no material increase in the unemployment rate to date," because it works best with humans, appearing "both skill-biased and labor augmenting." McCrory noted that tasks Claude can't handle may depend on "interpersonal coordination, in-person interactions, or engagement with the physical world" and cautioned that while human expertise could decline in importance as AI improves, AI shouldn't materially increase unemployment for at least the next year. In response, Mark Cuban highlighted two areas where humans trump AI, writing, "Models don't know the consequences of their actions. People know what will get them fired. Models suffer from information latency. People understand what they see right in front of them." Cuban said those are "2 skills AI won't have for a long, long, long time. If ever," and added, "Add AI productivity to the real-time capacity and judgment of humans, and you will get the greatest return on both investments."
