Labor productivity, even at a national level, possibly yes:

This is just ~2 - 4 years after ChatGPT launched, and despite very shallow adoption (only ~6% of all work hours.) As a sibling comment indicates, it took almost 2 decades for the Computer Revolution to be visible in national level statistics.

Also note this study was originally published in 2024, then revised in 2025, but this preliminary evidence has been around for a while, if people wanted to find it. It's even been posted to HN a couple of times, somehow it just doesn't get the attention you'd think it should get, even if it was just to poke holes in the conclusions.
