> I haven’t seen any good study that showed AI to actually improve productivity overall.

AI is overhyped, but on the other hand, I think it would be difficult to deny the significant productivity increases when used appropriately.

For some tasks, it's huge. Some tasks that I might've spent 8 hours on, I can do in 20 minutes. That's very real and huge.

At the same time, that's not the average that I experience. Some things are pretty much a wash. Others might be 2x or 3x faster which is quite nice, but short of the hype. And some things can be very clearly slower with AI. Also some things are more unreliable with AI.

We need to get to a maturity point where we realize it's just another tool. An incredibly powerful one for many tasks, yes. But it's not magically the right tool for everything and not always the right answer.
