The economist who formalized the AI doom scenario says its own conditions are too extreme to hold

A fictional memo from 2028 just wiped over $200 billion in real market cap. IBM had its worst day in 25 years because Anthropic wrote a blog post about COBOL. And the doom narrative driving all of it is probably wrong — not about the technology, but about the economics.

Accessibility Redefined

A recent study by Fortune magazine stated that AI search engines are confidently wrong over 60% of the time, with various widely-used AI tools exhibiting significantly high error rates. This trend often extends to AI-generated captions, as run-on sentences, misheard phrases, and dialogues compressed into an incomprehensible stream of text may be familiar features across digital platforms. While some viewers may perceive this as a minor frustration, others who depend on captions entirely to access information and professional opportunities might be left without clarity.

A recent article published by the BBC explored how generative AI tools could be “hacked” within minutes by introducing newly published online content. In the example presented, a blog post claiming expertise in a highly niche category was later echoed in responses from systems such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s AI outputs when prompted with closely related queries. The story sparked broader discussion about whether AI systems are inherently vulnerable to manipulation.
