It's less* than that, and if AI replaces workers at that scale it will create such a problem* the system would fall before these companies manage to demonstrate they escaped bankruptcy.

1. This is global, not USA only

2. Global GDP will be ~$165T by 2031

3. This is not $6T of ChatGPT subscription revenue. The article actually specifically says of the $6T, $200-$400B would be subscription and AI app revenue in 2031.

4. The $6T figure is AI "economic enablement". Drugs, robotics, research, coding, manufacturing, materials, etc...

But GDP is a very different thing than payrolls.
