When I read the article "Artificial Intelligence, with helps from human mind", I am not so surprised that the human mind still is the efficient agent that does most of today work. After all, computer is just additional help to complete programmed tasks. The article discussed the existent online employment where human mind is still the only way despite nowadays computer's ability. How sufficient the job is done, however, is still a question of debate.
In the article, computer users pay for guidance from other computer users to the correct information/website. Their use of "crowd sourcing" sometime results in delay and incorrect information through the experience described by the author. Why do these jobs exist even though computers have become better at info sourcing than human? I think it proves that humans still believe in work done by themselves rather than by machines. As humans, we require the quality of "customer service" when a job is needed to get done. Although technology is becoming more and more advanced, there are certain tasks that computers will never exceed humans because they can not perform a decision making with emotional involvement.

The idea of AI over taking our own "wetware" in processing power is one that I find really interesting. Wired recently did a pretty entertaining comparison.
One thing that I've found at work is that human will just always be better at some things. For one of our projects, we've used Twitter to identify what topics people are discussing and where.
