also because it's shit, if my memory serves me, I have successfully used AI for a productive task 1 time out of 7 attempts so far... it saved me 5 minutes

    That is part of the trust thing. I spent more time fixing the word salad it spat out than it would have taken to write the document.

    Yes, hand in hand...

    Anecdotal of course, but every person I know who claims AI is a huge productivity booster simply trust it blindly.

    I can't even get "Copilot" to return a proper answer from its own meeting transcript... just yesterday there was some confusion about an IP address we exchanged in a past meeting... I asked Copilot to check the transcript and give me the IP of the vendor's server (which I pointed by name of system and who spoke it in the meeting) and it gave me the IP of MY server, functionally the complete opposite of what I was asking but with full confidence in its answer
