The Yale Department of Economics page at the provided source is dated March 17, 2026, and the interview answers are attributed to Pascual Restrepo. That page contains the first excerpt verbatim (“Right now I would describe the labor market as more of a wait-and-see environment.”) and later the second excerpt beginning “People have the wrong intuition when they say that …”. Because the missing material is explicitly marked with [...], the stored quote is a genuine excerpt from the same interview, and the stored author, date, and source URL match the canonical source.

Disputed
Disputed: the Yale source does attribute both passages to Pascual Restrepo, but not as one continuous verbatim quote. On the page, “Right now I would describe the labor market as more of a wait-and-see environment. Firms are experimenting and trying to figure out how to use AI.” appears in an earlier answer, while “People have the wrong intuition...” and the wage/purchasing-power passage appear later in the final answer. The submitted quote stitches separate passages together and reverses their order, so it is not verbatim as presented.

AI Unverifiable
Quote attributed to Pascual Restrepo about "wrong intuition" on AI wages and purchasing power. Web search confirms Yale published the interview at the provided URL, and multiple sources (Benzinga, AOL, phys.org) repeat the same key phrases. The source URL (yale.edu) blocks automated fetching. Vote "abstain" is correctly aligned -- Restrepo takes a wait-and-see approach, saying "firms are experimenting" and it's unclear whether AI will be net positive or negative. Year 2026 is current. Quote is relevant to statement 389.

Source URL (Yale economics) returned HTTP 403, blocking direct fetch. Web search confirms Pascual Restrepo made these statements in a Yale Department of Economics article from March 2026. The quote about "wrong intuition" regarding AI and wages, purchasing power, and the "wait-and-see environment" is confirmed by Benzinga, Yahoo Finance, and other outlets. Vote direction (abstain) is correct -- Restrepo takes a nuanced position, noting both potential upsides and downsides, describing the labor market as "wait-and-see." Year (2026) and author attribution are correct.
