Out of curiosity, what real economic terms would you have to see to be convinced?
Do you mean more earnings per share for corporations or real utility impacts on social systems (e.g., more new drugs)
When I ask Claude about the AI ROI, it seems to cite that ~95% of AI PoC's are negative ROI but the 5% that do have ROI tend to have decent return -- my guess is mostly back office clean up to reduce expenses and increase revenue/profit.
IIRC Uber claim their 1.5k/mo budget lead to no new value creation.
FWIW, I look at the situation with similar skepticism. One argument you could make was what Marc Andreesen said with the hypothesis that "all the big companies get nuked", so no new valued gets created but the large market cap companies get eaten by thousands of little pirañas. Obviously, so far, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I mean real utility impacts. More reliable and efficient software, better features, etc. So far we've seen none of that. In fact, it seems like the opposite--more volume but a much lower quality product.
I used to have a rolling product satire I called "Claude Handshake" which basically explained how cold-email is dead today as people feed email contents into Claude and Claude responds with a draft, that usually comes from another person doing the same thing.
The idea was to just avoid sending email altogether and just simulate the interaction entirely using Claude.
1. Creating a MacOS native personal finance tracking + networth dashboard, inspired by Gnucash but no complex business stuff (e.g., Tax invoices)
2. Creating a vision / journey board that tracks your life milestones and displays them in a personal mandala / spiral :)
3. Trying to build an visual story telling tool that lets me convert my medium to long form essays into visual animated companions for youtube. e.g.,
