My conclusion is AI will usher in a revolution in the way work will be done, and you need to get on board and stop resisting this new industrial revolution. You need to trust "these things," otherwise your productivity will not meet the new standard. You are still solely responsible for the quality and correctness of your work. Have a nice day!

Productive how? Summarising pre-prepared text is about the only thing it can be trusted with. It can't even auto-transcribe meetings correctly, at all.

Maybe generating garbage scaffolding that would need completely rewritings anyway could be useful for people that suffer from analysis paralysis.

I think this AI productivity thing is mostly a myth. Currently.

I guess AI is productive in the artistic fields but I personally am repulsed by anything that looks like it was generated with AI. I think it's a disaster for humanity, all in the name of not wanting to pay creative people for creative output.

    I think the comment was sarcasm.

    On the other hand, these days it's impossible to tell for sure whether or not someone holds an insane belief.

How exactly an AI that can't get the basic facts about the current year and next year right is deemed to be the "new industrial revolution" ?

I can't tell if this is satire or not, but if not, you really are putting a lot on the line with these bold claims..

Where you see some kind of "Revolution", I see "regression".. Future years of inexperienced juniors, saddled with exponential tech debt from an AI slop generator that middle management is directing.
