From a worker standpoint, while you’re researching that thing you can find for yourself, someone of equal skill to you that is leveraging AI has solved 3 of those issues.

And I’ve rejected their code for unnecessary complexity and issues they overlooked all three times so actually nothing was solved. AI does not increase productivity. At all. Study after study after study has confirmed this. AI can spew out what sounds reasonable to people of low skill. That’s it.

I don’t use AI, but I’ve watched enough other people who’s intelligence I used to respect devolve into token monkeys who understand nothing anymore.
