The Novelty Bottleneck: A Framework for Understanding Human Effort Scaling in AI-Assisted Work
📖 Full Retelling
arXiv:2603.27438v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: We propose a stylized model of human-AI collaboration that isolates a mechanism we call the novelty bottleneck: the fraction of a task requiring human judgment creates an irreducible serial component analogous to Amdahl's Law in parallel computing. The model assumes that tasks decompose into atomic decisions, a fraction $\nu$ of which are "novel" (not covered by the agent's prior), and that specification, verification, and error correction each sc
