Congrats on making the world worse with AI. All this performative data scraping and uploading and no progress at all.

Making the privileged money and giving them the power to manipulate the mass is progress to some.

what are you talking about? it's progressing a lot of money into specific people's pockets

That is too bad for The Economist. Exor N.V and Agnelli might replace some pundits at The Economist.

The Economist has actually published other human forecasts many times, e.g. Metaculus or Good Judgment forecasts. They do year-end forecasts too.

Whether they draw on AI or other humans seems immaterial to the quality of their reporting.
