Humans don't exist in a vacuum, they're going to be born, raised and educated by the global education system no matter what. It doesn't cost a business anything to hire a human who's already been educated. But even then, I'd still wager that it's easier, more efficient and cheaper to teach a group of humans than train an AI. We've seen how many millions of dollars it costs to train a single model, MiMo, and the Big AI companies won't even tell us how much cash they're shoveling into the furnace.
If the argument is that local AI can be quickly trained for cheap to do a single task or a small set of tasks, I'm much more sympathetic to that – but that's not AGI.
