Not long ago, I attended an event with Tim Berners-Lee, an inventor of HTTP and overall creator of the Internet who, to the question about what his forecasts are on the quantum computing influence on society (everyone could tell some generic stuff about speed acceleration, right?), responded that he does not know as it is not his direct area of research.
That sort of intellectual humility is not something that one could attribute to Tyler Cowen, as eclectic stories in his economic blog (films, books, gastronomy, music - I like it generally) simply converge ideas and express uncertainty where he, apparently, feels it. However, that sort of talk ( unlike widespread generic AI hype in some books about imitative but not yet inventive models) entertained my routine jogging enormously because it poses several puzzling questions: AI is labour, capital or means of production? Possible models for fiscal policy due to these ambiguities? New area of anthropological economics with culturally clustered data? Special skills of proper feeding of the LLM models? (BloombergGPT is coming soon) Trust Hayek's 1945 essay on knowledge in society and imagine multiple decentralized systems in the future? How does LLM affect asset prices? Go long with electricity? A rather generic lecture, but with a plethora of qualitative questions that boost reflections.
