Anthropic's top economist says AI won't replace workers yet. Mark Cuban says it trails humans in 2 key ways.

Anthropic’s head of economics, Peter McCrory, said AI is not yet taking jobs, arguing today’s models work best with skilled users and primarily augment human efforts. The implication is a near-term productivity/augmentation dynamic rather than immediate labor displacement. While not quantified, the framing is supportive for AI adoption narratives and near-term market sentiment.
