Mass fraud & bubbles when the state is in on it does tend to be very lucrative (for the few people running it), until they pop anyway. Then everyone else is left holding the bag.

You do know that GDP is a completely worthless measurement that is trivially gamed and measures nothing relevant right?
As for "competitive advantage", corporations typically race to "release to market" even complete garbage that barely works if at all. Such competition is useless and detrimental to everyone except those relying on financial manipulations using those corporations.
That kind of "advantage" is of no benefit to anyone we should care to benefit.
> LLMs have become part of everyday life for vast swaths of ordinary people.
Most ordinary people here hate it because it's garbage that has degraded quality of service across basically everything corporate they interact with and costs them more money & time.
Those living near datacenters also hate them for the noise and electrical costs (among other things).
> Skilled software developers routinely use them to produce code that’s far from slop.
It doesn't work like that, provenance has tainted it, and due to it having partly-human-compatible informational output (regardless how wrong or incoherent it may be), cleaning it up without also contaminating one's thinking and perpetuating it is a problem.
This is practically the same thing as with clean-room reverse-engineering. Direct exposure to the source immediately means one is no longer suitable for any further related work.

A lot of the banks are starting to be rather unenthusiastic about the worthless debt they own from companies that are accumulating further debt *much* faster than anything else.
