There's (at least) two meanings for AI: (1) Software systems based on extensions of the LLM paradigm; and (2) Software systems capable of all human cognitive tasks, and then some.
It's not yet clear what (1) has to do with (2). Maybe it turns out that LLMs or similar can do (2). And maybe not.
I can understand being skeptical about the economic value of (1). But the economic value of (2) seems obviously enormous, almost certainly far more than all value created by humanity to date.
