Put a comment on this below, but the claim is highly misleading...consumer spending is ~$5 trillion, AI investment is ~$100 billion. The graph is looking at something like contribution to GDP growth (not contribution to GDP), but that is even misleading b/c if you don't adjust for seasonality, H1 consumer spending is almost always lower than H2 consumer spending of the previous year (because Q4 always has a higher level of consumer spending).

To clarify, AI investment has contributed more to GDP GROWTH than consumer spending.

So they are talking about changes not levels.
