If the economist is making a prediction, they could well be predicting implicitly that if AI is dangerous, then it will be forbidden to the extent it is dangerous, and so by saying that only a “small” growth increase is what would come to pass, such an economist is implicitly predicting that AI is so dangerous that it will be blocked/limited to that.
I don’t particularly buy this hypothesis about what economists think, I’m just saying it out loud because I never see it thrown around when this discourse pops up.
