    I read an Economist article about the expected impact of AI on worker productivity and it found a major bifurcation of impacts.

    If AI output could be trusted as is, productivity gains mainly went to less productive workers as they were able to benefit the most from a tool doing the hard parts of the job. This could reduce wages since you can lower job requirements by using AI.

    If AI output needed human processing and review, productivity gains mainly went to high performers as they were able to benefit the most from a tool doing the easy parts of the job. This could reduce employment as high performers can do more by using AI.
