I’ll take that over “hmm, the average revenue per employee of these 493 massive companies is flat, so AI doesn’t add value”

How come? Revenue seems like a more reasonable metric in the context of companies than self reported 'productivity.'

For starters, because an average of 493 companies of all types and cultures tells you very little about whether AI is having an impact. For all we know, half these companies have implemented AI and are growing like crazy, and the half that haven't are losing revenue at a rapid clip, but it all averages out to zero.
