I haven’t met a single person whose productivity has been increased by it. Either they already realised It’s wasting their time, or they haven’t realised yet.
I’d say it’s increased my productivity in general. I’d also say “incredible numbers” is a ridiculous exaggeration being propagated by people not too interested in the truth.
Idk, in my experience that’s exactly what Google was useful for. One of the many reasons it was so good around 2010 is it could find stuff without knowing exact keywords. Googling a full sentence question has pretty much always been possible. All the AI data is literally coming from the same place.
These days there’s so much noise in the results, I can’t find much of anything I don’t already know I’m looking for.

If my productivity goes up, it means I get more money or can work fewer hours, right?
Only if you don’t tell the boss
AI would be overwhelmingly embraced if this was the case. Even a basic income program would have made it palpable.

Well I have never met you so what I said is still true :)
I have found one specific use case where ML has helped quite a bit: finding trends in massive databases with tons of variables.
I haven’t realized it yet. I sometimes find myself able to describe what I want a program to do, but don’t know which libraries to use.
Back in my day, you could have just Googled it. Web search is complete trash now though thanks to a combination of Google and AI.
I wouldn’t even know what to Google, though. The feature is that it accepts a vague and borderline useless input.
