• 2.Self-reported productivity gains from AI remain modest, contributing approximately 50-60 basis points to labor productivity over the last year, which is insufficient to justify high GDP growth expectations.
• 3.A discrepancy exists between massive infrastructure/capex spending and low-single-digit user base growth, raising concerns about return on investment (ROI) for hyperscalers.
