I think the problem they cannot solve yet is a) knowing what to do and b) knowing when it's properly done.
The result is possibly more output per qualified human, but with your competition having the same tool, you're just keeping pace, not advancing.
But isn't that actually what most advancements have been? More things can be done with fewer people or fewer resources, competition gets it too, but overall, society advances.
The major problem is the whole needing to have a job thing. If we all profited from this, it would be awesome, wouldn't it
