Private VerifierSubjectivity Shapes Automation's FutureNarrator In a world where code rules, anything you can write down gets done by machines.Timmy So, if I can describe exactly what I want, a computer will just do it?Mrs. Parker That's right, Timmy. But what about things you can't describe perfectly, like 'what looks good' or 'what feels fair'?Timmy So, for those things, do computers just guess?Mrs. Parker Kind of! In the AI era, if you can verify an answer—even if you can't explain it—AI can get it right. But if you can't verify, you get... slop.Timmy Slop tax? That sounds expensive.Mrs. Parker It is! Every time automation can't be verified, you pay with mistakes, confusion, or extra work. So, the real value is in having a private verifier—someone or something trusted to say, 'Yes, that's right.'Timmy So, if I want my robot to pick out my coolest sneakers, I need someone to teach it what 'cool' means to me—and check if it gets it right!Plot: In the software era, anything you can specify you can automate. In the AI era, anything you can verify you can automate. Private verifier for something subjective is where the value is. Things which can't be verified will get automated anyway — badly — and the resulting slop tax is where the next decade's margin hides. @Timmy: Resourceful 8yr old @Mrs. Parker: Unpredictable Examiner +Theme: Rendered in the style of contemporary minimalism, featuring sleek metallic surfaces and smooth, polished forms.
