A lot of them could be solved with pre-ai things. Many were self-inflicted by people badly designing and approving existing processes. I really don't see how AI is going to get us out of this one. I've been paid money to automate a few existing self-inflicted repetitive, mundane and boring tasks and the companies that created them are not even interested in talking about solving that. Some work the opposite way - in the US the value keeps being extracted from the tax filing system for example, even though we know how to remove the issue itself.

It's weird to discuss how the AI will automate everything when we're actively fighting simplification right now.
