“I would be surprised if there was something created that touched a lot of people, and humans had very little to do with it. Everything that I know about humans so far suggests that one of the main jobs that humans will have in the future is being human. We like being around other humans. We like human sense of humor. I think AIs will be funny, but they will have an alien sense of humor. It'll be like Spock, right? It's like, yeah, I'm around you, but I much prefer being around Kirk.”

Stephen Dubner asked whether people will ever want AI-generated creative work en masse, given how few AI works people return to so far. Kelly, a longtime technology writer and self-described optimist, answers with his view of what humans will still be for.
Very, very few. And one of the things I've noticed is I will watch an AI-generated this or that, and there's very few that are returned to.
Why do you think there are so few so far? Is it that there are so few so far, or there will never be many AI-generated, let's call it creative works that humans want to consume en masse?

And so I think that will be our job is just to be human, to have small talk, to hold someone's hand, to be there, to make a joke, to be creative in the way that we're creative. And that's very appealing to us.
