> Take any stock index, remove AI stocks, what do you see? That's right! Nothing...

I mean, do you know what the value of those stocks would be if AI didn't exist. Maybe they would be much more negative. Maybe we would be in a recession. Without a control this type of analysis is meaningless.

And that is even assuming that AI productivity gains are happening now instead of 5-10 years from now.
