or, even worse perhaps the productivity gains will be high.

I'm not sure if this point is essential or pedantic, but they're not claiming that the economy is being propped up, just stock prices.

The post talks about how a lot of AI investment could just be a waste which would be bad for the economy and stocks.

My comment is really a off-topic, its that if AI really does work well it'll put half of us out of work, leaving us to do non-knowledge work that the robots can't do yet.
