Is Computer Use Faster Than an Expert User?

Ari Weinstein says computer use is not yet as fast as an expert user. Over the past couple of months it has become faster than the average person at finishing tasks, in most cases. The next frontier he describes is literally superhuman speed: as fast as expert computer users, or faster. He expects products to feel more real-time once that happens, and he expects people to hand over chores they still do by hand because the effort to start will be lower.

What still slows the agents down, in his account, are small cuts on the model, on inference, on the harness, and on how the screen is represented.
