Top-quintile households are also the cohort with the highest measured AI exposure (i.e., incomes/occupations most exposed to AI substitution), increasing the concentration of AI-driven demand risk.

Intermediation collapse: AI agents reduce information frictions and automate advice/coordination tasks, compressing intermediary margins toward logistics/execution costs and repricing business models across SaaS, payments, consulting, insurance, and financial advisory, with knock-on effects for firm valuations and collateral values that underpin credit markets.

Ghost GDP: AI output that replaces labor-intensive output can create a wedge between measured GDP (which may rise) and consumption-relevant income (which can fall) because a declining labor share reduces monetary velocity absent proportionate transfers — producing hidden demand shortfalls.
Formalization in the paper linking labor share to monetary velocity and thus to consumption-relevant income; calibration using FRED macro time series and monetary-aggregate/velocity proxies.
medium negative Abundant Intelligence and Deficient Demand: A Macro-Financia... monetary velocity and consumption-relevant income (consumption) versus headline ...
When firms rationally substitute AI for labor, aggregate labor income can fall and lower demand, which accelerates further AI substitution — a 'displacement spiral' whose net feedback is either self-limiting (convergent) or explosive (runaway adoption + demand collapse) depending on AI capability growth rate, diffusion speed across firms/sectors, and the reinstatement rate (rate at which new paid human roles or demand reappear).
Formal model derivations that identify key parameters and inequalities separating convergent vs explosive regimes; calibrated simulations that vary capability growth, diffusivity, and reinstatement elasticity to produce different phase outcomes.
medium negative Abundant Intelligence and Deficient Demand: A Macro-Financia... aggregate labor income; AI adoption rate; regime outcome (convergent vs explosiv...
Rapid AI adoption can create a macro-financial stress scenario not primarily through productivity collapse or existential risk but via a distribution-and-contract mismatch: AI-generated abundance reduces the need for human cognitive labor while institutions (wage contracts, credit, consumption patterns, financial intermediation) remain anchored to the scarcity of human cognition, producing a self-reinforcing downward spiral in labor income, demand, and intermediary margins that can tip into an explosive crisis unless offset by sufficiently fast reinstatement of human-paid demand or deliberate policy/market responses.
Analytical macro-financial model coupling firm-level substitution decisions, aggregate demand mapping, and financial-sector balance-sheet propagation; calibrated numerical simulations using U.S. macro time series (FRED), BLS occupation-level employment and wages, and published occupation-level AI-exposure indices; phase diagrams and scenario time-paths reported in the paper.

Human ratings and preference-trained metrics reward visually vivid but exaggerated color and contrast, which leads to outputs that are less photorealistic when photorealism is the intended objective.
