The first version needs people to teach it but it already costs less than paying for a worker in many cases.
The second will still need some coaching in some case but will do almost everything by itself out of the box.
The third will know even more and will be much more efficient and cheaper.
By the fourth or fith version their existance and number will likely have completely reshaped how work works making it clear to people that in the not distant at all future no one will need to work again.
