Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, employees say it has increased their workload, hampered productivity and caused job burnout, research shows.

The new global study, in partnership with The Upwork Research Institute, interviewed 2,500 global C-suite executives, full-time employees and freelancers. Results show that the optimistic expectations about AI’s impact are not aligning with the reality faced by many employees. The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees using AI.

Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, the study reveals that, 77% of employees using AI say it has added to their workload and created challenges in achieving the expected productivity gains. Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout.

      Apart from me not reading the manual (or skimming to quick) I might have asked the LLM to check the history file rather than the command. Idk. I honestly didn’t know the history command did anything different than just printing the history file

        man 3 history

        info history

        Also, your .bashrc file in your $HOME Dir contains env variables you can set to modify the behaviors of the history function.

            Honestly, I thought I knew lots.

            Then, one day, I decided to read man intro

            Then I knew I knew I didn’t know much.

            I still don’t.

            But I now have a much better grasp of what/how.
