      It did add to last year’s GDP. Investment, i.e. Business Spending, is a major component of GDP. And the tech companies spent a shit ton of money on AI and AI centric equipment last year.

    2. Weird given the massive amount of spending on commercial infrastructure including power generation, hardware and fiber.

      One article says $650Bn spent and the next says nothing added to the GDP. Comedy hour.

      how does that balance with the food I consumed, did i learn enough, train hard enough.

    4. Me prompting videos of an eel rapping and trash talking my fantasy football opponents didn’t contribute to the economy?

    5. What AI hopes to develop most is married to consumer hardware. Any gains with development will be offset in hardware delays caused by inavailability of memory that many consumer products need.

      People just now figuring out that either AGI fails and the bubble pops or AGI succeeds and we have 50% unemployment. I am STILL waiting for someone to explain how AI is beneficial for humanity. It’s been years and shouldn’t be hard to explain… still waiting.

      Big scam that’s needlessly killing jobs and making people stupider by the day.

      That’s because they aren’t in it for economic growth. Tech companies are falling in line with the government’s wet dream of mass surveillance. And AI goes hand in hand with that

      But guys they’re laying off people and offshoring (cost saving) while investing in AI (burning resources) that hasn’t been profitable yet. It will be worth it eventually, right guys? It will trickle down, right?

      „No fucking shit“ – someone who uses AI often enough to say it doesn’t have any value to 99.9% of people.

      Can’t wait for it to be revealed that OpenAI is basically creating a souped up version of Google search at the expense of hundreds of billions of dollars and 0 job creation 

    12. Sam Altman facial expressions constantly looks like he clogged up the toilet and hopes no one has found out yet

      Been saying that all year but the libertarians:

      No it’s going to transform the world, so much money in the stock market

    14. Shocking things unsurprising. Corporations will always reap the advantages of technology.

    15. Plz bro you don’t understand bro, just one more data center bro. Just one more hardware supply chain bro. Plz bro you just dont get it bro.

    16. Of course it did not grow the economy. Unlike other advancements in technology it has not created large new areas of product that had yet to exist. Instead it primarily moves corporate software R&D expense from payroll to accounts payable. While also decreasing the value of the IP that corporation funded.

      But it sure did consume a lot of resources that us poors are paying for.

    18. imaginary_num6er on

      Yeah but GDP multiplied each time there was a new business transaction announcement

    19. Same goes with my two year old. In fact my two year old cost me money with nothing in return. Did you guys know you have to feed children? And clothe them too! I’m just glad my financial future and retirement is not based solely on my 2 year old taking over the entire global economy and making about 20% of all current jobs obsolete.

      Hard to argue with that statement, but do I need to hear it from the same people who laundered money for Epstein? Like, can you not.

    21. But they did lay off tens of thousands of workers and use AI as an excuse, so there’s that.

    22. Wrong_Ad_2064 on

      Both can be true at the same time:

      – huge capex now (data centers, chips, power)

      – weak measurable productivity gains in the short term

      Infra spend shows up immediately. Broad productivity gains usually lag by years, especially when orgs are still in “pilot mode.”

    23. one article says it replaces all the jobs, all people. one says 80 billion jobs lost to AI. And this article which is like AI hasn’t done shit. the economy is shit and they are blaming mass layoffs on AI replacements. they get cover and free advertising for AI. we aren’t falling for it.

    24. It did, however, destroy a lot of jobs and legacy knowledge. So that’s something.

    25. raygunner14 on

      Take it from them they would know! They have first hand experience replacing staff with AI

    26. MclovinBuddha on

      I’m not going to believe that a company that fell behind on the AI boom is going to give an accurate report on the impact of AI on the economy

    27. Well, at least the story isn’t about how AI replaced millions of actual people. It seems the stories about one AI agent replacing 100 programmers might have been overblown.

      AI feels like NFTs to me. Wow, you generated a bunch of pictures and useless shit that a human could do.
