You are not quantifying anything. If a set of goals are linear in difficulty then exponential growth will get us to those goals in exponentially lower times. However, if the same goals are exponential in difficulty then an exponential growth could just be linear.

I agree with you here, and that's part of what I'm saying in the post. Increasing the efficiency of programmers through AI like Codex increases the growth rate of all sectors across the board.

Maybe you can explain this better, but this makes no logical sense to me assuming the starting point is the same.
