and where you really have to just live with the fact that we won't have a fully clear picture until like a year after the data has actually materialized.

But the second thing is also that the technology is advancing so rapidly.

The chat GPD that you work with today is very different from the one a year ago and can do much more, especially when it comes to things like coding or white collar work.

Yeah, I think there's a very big gap between the frontier of what's possible and what is actually used in daily use.

And what the paper that you just mentioned tells us is that

in the field when it comes to how actual corporations are using these technologies.

As of a couple months ago, there wasn't really that big of an impact yet.

And I think that corresponds to everything I'm seeing and hearing when I talk to executives.

So people are still at the stage of where they're trying to figure out how do we actually deploy these systems productively?

How do we go from, let's say, the shiny demo to having a productive impact on our work where we can do more, where we can do things more cheaply?

And in a reliable way with the same level of reliability that we've always worked.

It's definitely a spookier term than what I have encountered this under.

But frankly, you know, it does track very much with what the general expectation is if the technology works.

reaches the level of something like AGI or powerful AI or whatever you want to call it.

So in some sense, you can see it's even worse than that.

So on the one hand, there's going to be a lot of GDP that is not going to be produced by humans in the loop.

So that means no worker is ever going to get the benefits of that.

But on the other hand, there's also going to be quite a significant amount

of economic production that doesn't even show up in GDP because it gets counted as an intermediate good.

Things only show up in GDP when it is final consumption or final investment in things in capital that we can accumulate that has a useful life of a certain period.
