Against the abundance projections, the author records a tempering proposition: measured macroeconomic effects of AI remain modest, roughly a 0.7 percent productivity surge yielding 1.1 to 1.8 percent GDP growth over a decade, because frictions confine impact to about 5 percent of tasks while inequality widens for vulnerable demographics.
