The other day I had another conversation in which someone said that #GenerativeAI made them more productive, and after I asked a few questions they admitted maybe 80% of the output was OK and they have to check and double check everything. Then when I asked the obvious followup, "wouldn't it have been easier just to do it yourself from the beginning instead of having to put in all these safeguards and worry about whether you missed errors?" they had no real answer.
I feel like people have been sold the idea that #GenerativeAI must provide productivity gains, and many don't bother to examine whether it really does.
