> From the article: If you live in the United States today, and you accidentally knock a hole in your wall, it’s probably cheaper to buy a flatscreen TV and stick it in front of the hole, compared to hiring a handyman to fix your drywall.
I can't tell if that's the worst AI boosting analogy I ever heard or the most unwittingly accurate.
First of all, flat screen TV and plasterboard hole repair are in no way substitutable goods.
"Why is there a new TV behind the front door dear? The handle was bashing the drywall and it was cheaper than a handyman."
But okay, let's assume you accidentally but conveniently punched a hole right where you would want a TV. And you don't already have a TV there.
Who is going to wall mount this new TV in a home that can't do basic drywall repair?

"Isn't the handle going to bash the TV now?"
"It's ok, dear; replacement TVs are cheaper than hiring a handyman"
