@ben_golub Most economic theory suffers from "the hamburger problem" - you have to weigh the experience of reading it against the outside option of simply eating a hamburger.
Dyson classify mathematicians as birds and frogs. AI provides a substitute for the frog but not the bird. Importantly bird skills, problem selection, formulation, modeling are especially valuable in economics, making AI an ally for bird economists. https://t.co/N5apQtZben
