most workers are using it sparingly—or hiding it from their boss.
Ah yes, the reason that workers don't report saving time by using AI is that they're lying
The VPs and C suite at my job are forcing their departments to “integrate” AI into our tools and it’s definitely going to take more time to implement than it will save us work. Hate these dudes
- I hate this shit, they're forcing us to make AI summaries of every meeting with Copilot. The main impact I've seen from AI at work is that people aren't paying attention in meetings because they're relying on AI summaries.
  
  I see the exact same thing at my job. I remember several of my coworkers started bragging that they use Copilot to parse email chains. These people are basically just communicating to each other via LLMs
If you can use AI for a thing then that thing was probably pointless bullshit. The main use case for AI I found is for things I don't want to do. Whenever I am genuinely interested in a task or project, I don't even bother using AI because using AI is a brain-dead excercise. And by AI I'm just talking about LLM's
- Copilot basic is good for boilerplate and data models and that's about it.
  It's glorified auto-complete that can sometimes make decent markdown formatting from plain english
when my manager tried to bully me into using ai i listened to him. I copied client emails into the company ai and then sent the responses straight to the client with no proofreading or editing 🥰 i got told to stop using the ai real fucking quick
A machine that lies to you does not actually help productivity?
Duh
- Duh indeed
