It's going to be a self fulfilling prophecy. After all, these studies are produced to convince CEOs to make certain types of business decisions. Their whole point is to convince execs to make the types of policy decisions that they outline.

That's why I wanted to highlight the absurdity of "We made an AI to tell us AI is good!" because it shows their nature: a snake eating its own ass.

Oh yeah, the whole thing is absurd of course. In my opinion, AI is just exposing the fact that capitalism is a system of engineered scarcity which forces people to do useless work in order to continue existing.
