I suspect the distribution is more lumpy, best case. Worst case, the progeny of the affluent are eating up those sweet gains.

My experience in higher education so far suggests the affluent are not immune to these same trends.

It's not "lumpy", but AI definitely made the spread (distribution) of scores wider. See the last chart from: https://infographics.economist.com/2026/20260822_WOC963/

Would these sorts of things happen more often with or without the technology?

It would be interesting to know what percentage of global inference is spent on projects/problems that would otherwise "wait"/"decay" (if generative ai wasn't a thing). Or maybe the question is: What percentage of global inference is spent on cleaning up and migrating old systems? "New" vs "Old". The decisions I make today can now incorporate what I once termed as "nice to have" when developing a sytem.
