Companies are shoving AI into everything and making it intrusive into everyone's workflow. Thus they can show how "adoption" is increasing!
But adoption and engagement don't equal productive, useful results. In my experience it simply doesn't and the bottom is going to fall out on all these adoption metrics when people see the productivity gains aren't real.
The only place I've seen real utility is for coding. All other tasks, such as Gemini for document writing, produces something that's about 80% ok, and 20% errors and garbage. The work of going back through with a fine toothed comb to root out the garbage is actually more work and less productive than any simply writing the darn thing from scratch.
I fear that the future of AI driven productivity is going to push a mountain of shoddy work into the mainstream. Imagine if the loan documents for your new car had all the qualities of a spam email. It's going to be a nightmare for the administrative world to untangle what is real from the AI slop.
