In a post on X, Gabriel Petersson argued that AI's effect on GDP is now constrained less by model intelligence than by how well people know how to use it, adding that outside tech and San Francisco, many people still treat AI as “a fancy information lookup tool or automated reviewing.” The post spread as a compact argument about where the bottleneck has moved: the models, or the users.
