Comparative advantage assumes that there is capacity limit. The more productive country might not choose to produce widget A because its limited capacity is better used to create widget B. However, if in a few years, there are enough GPUs to satisfy almost all demand for AI labor, there's no need to "outsource" work that AI is better at to humans.
