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.

Wow shockingly employing a virtual dumbass who is confidently wrong all the time doesn't help people finish their tasks.

It's like employing a perpetually high idiot, but more productive while also being less useful. Instead of slow medicine you get fast garbage!

Don't knock being perpetually high. Some of my best code I wrote in my mid-20s

My dumbass friend who over confidently smart is switch to Linux bcz of open source AI. I can't wait to see what he learns.

I have no idea why the engagement with this was down votes. So your friend thinks having an LLM to answer questions will help to learn Linux? I imagine he's probably right.
