Professional developers make up less than 1% of the global population (around 25 million people apparently). Assuming they are the ones that have a good theory of computation, I think “better than 99%” is not a high enough bar to shake the world, right?
I mean, it depends on what we expect the AI to do. Maybe it would be revolutionary to just have, like, an average programmer with a ton of free time (so, the AI only has to beat like 99.7% of humanity to do that). On the other hand, if we want it to change the world by being much better than the average person, I guess we’d need a couple more 9’s.
