Default Re: What Use Do Humans Have in Transhuman Space?

A good SAI would probably be a better botboss than most humans. But good SAIs are expensive and come with social complications.

Which brings us round to the best (not necessarily perfect) answer to the question; "best" has to encompass cost, or it doesn't mean anything. Some jobs can likely be done cheaper by humans when all associated costs are factored in, and there may sometimes be social or PR problems associated with employing high-end AIs or bioroids.

Note that this is unlikely to be a stable situation in the medium or long term.
