In case you missed it, my recap of the July report. It was not a good or even decent report, but in my opinion most takes on it were too pessimistic. Link: macromostly.substack.com/p/bls-jobs-rep…

while I agree that it’s more important to think about “gross labor market disruption” than net employment growth impacts, I also think gross disruption has been very small outside of a few pockets

Two ways to read this chart. 1. The market has failed to produce AI products that businesses want or care to use. 2. We're so early in a new and nascent product category with room to grow. I think both are somewhat true. I also think the discourse around measuring AI's impacts

Btw my answer here is if the underlying work is substantive then it would change my opinion quite a bit for the better (even if I dislike the canned AI writing style) As would finding out that it was generated by a 1 sentence prompt

Let’s say you read a piece that is obviously written by AI. And let’s say the author shows you that they in fact did substantial work drafting/shaping the piece prior to feeding it to an LLM. Would this change your assessment of the piece?

Whenever I think of ABCP, I remember some of the most fun/scary moments of my private sector career, so I'm really excited we might be doing this again (FRED chart modified using gork)
