I wonder if AI shrinks the economy. Not that such a metric is the most important ruler by which to measure goodness, but it would be ironic to have a massive tech company that produces less value than it removes from the world.

In a way it will remove value but in a way it will add value back in terms of an avalanche of derivative junk, lacking authenticity and context. If you find value in memes for example there will be a lot of that type of content in the future.
