    It's completely failing at that too. Public trust in the courts is lower than it's ever been, and it was never all that high to begin with

    <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox GDP does not grow with computers, why should it grow with new software, i.e. genAI?
    Creating virtual products get cheaper, so shouldn't it even decrease if everyone vibe codes their app for less than a dollar instead of hiring a dev team for 50k or ordering a white label app or spending 3 dollars to buy an existing app?
