Well those efficiency gains have to show up somewhere. It would imply that consumers / customers of these companies are receiving cheaper or higher value services / goods.

Thats at odds with current inflation trends to say the least.

Even aside from inflation, the prospect of efficiency-borne gains meaningfully benefiting the consumer rather than fattening corporate profit margins, frankly, seems like magical thinking. I’ve seen no evidence that our current corporate culture is capable of it (for any longer than it takes to dominate some market.)
