That just isn’t true.

AI is capable of performing a lot of grunt work reliably. Still must be reviewed. But a big productivity gain over doing everything yourself.

While I agree with you in principle, I think the parent has a point here: where's the amazing product that couldn't have been done without AI? By now we should have seen some major new invention/company, incredibly fast revolutionary feature rollouts etc but I'm just seeing more of the same.

Productivity gains maybe but nothing actually novel.

And those productivity gains are moot if AI costs (including externalities) increase commensurately.
