I think this is still too extreme. A machine that cuts and preps food at the same level as a 25th percentile person _being paid to do so_, while also being significantly cheaper would presumably be highly relevant.


Aw man. There are so many angles though.

Your p25 employee is probably much closer to your p95 employee than to the p50 "standard" human, so yeah, I think you have a point there.

But at least in food prep, p25 would already be pretty damn hard to achieve. That's a hell of a lot of autonomy and accuracy (at least in my restaurant kitchen experience which is admittedly just one year in "fine dining"-ish kitchens).

I'd say the p25 of software or SRE folks I've worked with is also a pretty high bar to hit, too, but maybe I've been lucky.
