If this is true, then shouldn't we expect an economic "bump" from NN/LLMs/AI as they are today?

I have not noticed companies or colleagues 10x'ing (hell, or even 1.5x'ing) their productivity from these tools. What am I missing?

There's an implicit assumption here that if a colleague did figure out how to (e.g.) 10x their output with new tools, the employer would capture all (e.g.) 10x of that increased productivity.

I see people getting replaced by AI left and right.
