"In the Human Productivity Parabola (see graph above), we have now passed the point — call it the 'Productivity-Creativity Inversion' — where machines (algorithms, robots, etc.) have become a better investment for future productivity gains than humans. At this point, we as humans are better off spending our energy on creativity than on productivity.
