Growth Mode founder Baz Furby maps out what he calls ‘the inevitable destination’ — not what AI can do today, but the logical endgame of current trajectories. The piece traces a sequence: AI absorbs knowledge work (McKinsey estimates 60-70% of document/research/analysis tasks automatable), then physical robotics follow, driving massive deflation as production costs collapse.
The economic projections are staggering: McKinsey sees $15.5-22.9 trillion in AI economic potential by 2040, Goldman projects a $7 trillion GDP boost, and PwC estimates $15.7 trillion by 2030. Leaders from Anthropic, Microsoft, and others project sweeping white-collar automation within 1-5 years.
Rather than framing this as dystopian, Furby argues the destination is an abundance economy — where the cost of goods and services drops dramatically as AI and robotics handle both digital and physical labor. The piece positions itself not as speculation but as a data-backed sequence of events already in motion.
