Really interesting article. Why isn't the impact of AI showing up in GDP? Because most of the benefit accrues to consumers. To measure impact, they investigate how much people would *need to be paid to give up a good*, rather than what they pay for it.

A similar pattern has been seen in other technological assets like email, Wikipedia, and Google Maps. They provided huge value to consumers but were free/near-free and therefore didn't contribute much to GDP growth.
