The argument that robot AI output could bring consumer surplus but barely register in GDP
A commenter points to agriculture: more output, but a GDP share they say fell from roughly 40% to 2%.
TLDR
In a reply, a commenter argues that automation can increase production while making an industry a smaller part of GDP. They say agriculture went from roughly 40% of GDP to 2% despite producing much more. By the same logic, they suggest, goods made by millions of robot AIs could bring substantial consumer surplus while barely registering in GDP.
