The reason for this is comparative advantage. Low skilled laborers are worse than high skilled ones at all tasks. But high-skilled laborers face constraints: if they work on an assembly line, they can’t also teach at the university ...
... This applies just as strongly to human level AGIs. They would face very different constraints than human geniuses, but they would still face constraints.
It's reasonable to expect that the strength of these constraints matters when it comes to the size of the effect on low-skilled workers. For high-skilled humans, the constraint you describe is quite strong. There's only one of them, and only so many hours in the day, and training a replacement... (read more)
