For the most part, to the extent that we will have these advantages, it still doesn’t suggest a discontinuity; it suggests that we will be able to automate tasks with weaker / less intelligent AI systems than you might otherwise have thought.
This applies even if an AI is “merely” at the human level.
I usually think of Part 1 of WFLL happening prior to reaching what I would call human level AI, because of these AI advantages. Though the biggest AI advantage feeding into this is simply that AI systems can be specialized to particular tasks, whereas humans become general reasoners and then apply their general reasoning to particular tasks.
