""not seeing""
""You begin to get the picture that information technology isn't measured always in as linear a way into productivity as people assume," he told The Register in a new interview. "It just isn't there.""
""that by 1987 the effects of the PC revolution can be seen everywhere, except in the productivity statistics,""
""And [from] 2007 to 2019 it was 1.5 percent.""
AI firms continue heavy investment in infrastructure while measurable productivity gains remain absent in available data. Historical productivity growth slowed after widespread PC adoption, with annual rates falling from 2.7% (1947–1973) to 2.1% (1990–2001) and 1.5% (2007–2019). The Solow Paradox captures the phenomenon of major technological change without corresponding productivity statistics. Multiple studies and workplace deployments indicate limited economic impact so far: one MIT study found 95% of companies integrating AI saw no meaningful revenue growth, and research on AI coding tools showed slower programmer performance in some cases.
