AI Productivity Growth Won’t Match the Computer Revolution
https://prosyn.org/sgr9TWK?referral=304d11
#AI #productivityGrowth will likely underwhelm compared to the computer revolution of the late 1990s. AI’s impact on #productivity is being hampered by a "verification tax," where the time saved in generation is often lost to the intensive human oversight required to catch plausible-sounding errors. Unlike previous digital tools that simply retrieved or processed data, AI produces cognitive work that shifts the human role from doing to supervising, creating a bottleneck in human verification bandwidth.

While novices may see gains, experienced professionals can actually be slowed down by the need to audit and correct "confidently wrong" AI outputs. An over-reliance on these tools risks eroding the junior-level expertise necessary to verify machine work in the future. Ultimately, broad productivity gains will depend less on faster models and more on "verification infrastructure".
