AI can also introduce its own "bad friction", or it (ppl?) can bypass good friction without necessarily directly be removed by ai, eg bikeshedding, slowly pivoting towards directions and problems that ai is better in tackling, because that can produce these accelerated results vs fields and problems that ai may not be able tackle as well and thus the output there is poor, demotivating people from following these fields and missing important insights from them. Of course this could have the opposite effect, depending on which direction the whole hype can go, or not happen at all if ai will be able to tackle everything equally well.
