With the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, the challenge of optimizing technological policy decisions based on economic principles has emerged. This paper develops an in-silico framework based on Monte Carlo simulations to analyze the economic impact of human and machine technologies, utilized singly or jointly, on tasks of varying difficulty. The results of this quantitative analysis reveal that automation is effective for tasks with low generalization difficulty, but may fall short of human technology in complex scenarios. Specifically, when a high level of generalization is required and error costs are high, the combination of human and machine technologies can be most effective when true augmentation is achieved. However, if synergy is not achieved, it can be a destructive option, ultimately destroying value.
