Result 2: When managers are short-termist or worker skill has external value, the decision-maker's optimal policy can produce the augmentation trap, leaving the worker worse off than if AI had never been adopted.

Result 1: Even a decision-maker who fully anticipates skill erosion rationally adopts AI when front-loaded productivity gains outweigh long-run skill costs, producing steady-state loss: the worker ends up less productive than before adoption.
Analytical result from the dynamic model showing optimal adoption choice can lead to a steady-state where worker productivity is lower than pre-adoption (model-based comparative statics).
