You better have some sources for declaring that industrial capacity hasn't increased. The Fed reports around 8% penetration of AI in manufacturing already, but in my opinion it's too early for grand declarations like that without data.

Based on a survey if the business uses AI "in any of its business functions". And for all uses of what they consider to be AI, not just LLMs.

You mean grand declarations like 'industrial capacity has increased'? Just because AI is present in the factory doesn't mean it's actually increased capacity.

Have you happened to purchase anything in the past 12 months, and looked at the Fed's inflation numbers?
