> Growth is not representative of the entire economy

Our entire economy is based on debt, it cannot function without growth. This is demonstrated by the fact that:

> in fact the highest sector, which is finance only makes up 21% of the US economy

Every cent earned by the finance sector boils down from being derived from debt (i.e. growth has to pay it off). You just pointed out the largest sector of our economy relies on rapid growth, and the majority of growth right now is coming from AI. AI, therefore, cannot derive the majority of it's value by cannibalizing the growth of other sectors because no other sector has sufficient growth the fund both AI, itself and the debt that needs to be repaid to make the entire thing make sense.
