Using evolutionary models, we compare AI substitutes and AI complements.
We show that in a population with mixed strategies, AI substitution wins with higher efficiency, at the cost of a reduction in group variance.
Under group selection, AI complementarity can prevail—because groups that preserve human variation explore more, and perform better over time.
Strong group boundaries, institutions, and norms can act as a safeguard against long-run cultural decline.

A sequence of technological inventions over several centuries has dramatically lowered the cost of producing and distributing information. Because societies ride on a substrate of information, these c...
Inspiring experience working with a group of great researchers. Now it’s the time for us to understand the current social changes and their influence on the information society.
Thank you!
Discussions on abortion are still very much needed, especially right now. Glad to see this paper finally came out. Do we still have the opportunity to do research like this?
