90% quality for 10% the price means that most decisionmakers will--and they don't need to collude to do this--take that and pocket the difference.

Why would 50% for 0.1% be different? 30% for 0.01%?

This is the enshittification spiral to which I refer.



Not if the output quality matters - which in medical and biological classification tasks, quality labeling really really does matter. Garbage in, garbage out.

If I was paying someone for labeling or classification, and the quality dropped to 90%, 50%, 30% accuracy, I'd quickly fire them.
