....AI hinders productivity and makes working worse....

I knew it!

AI in its current form is not ready for prime time.

It will get there eventually...

Because people just expect it to -- poof! -- work. And it doesn't. Using AI at this stage is a whole skill set of its own. My productivity is demonstrably up 18% over last year. One of my co-workers is kicking it up 52%. But he and I spent weeks mastering how to talk to the damn thing, how to teach it, and how to get exactly what we want and need with minimum hassle.

Mix AI and its weak conversational skills with workers with the same failing and watch how quick you get responses vaguely reminiscent of the Swedish Chef from The Muppet Show but not nearly as entertaining.
