Ah yes, a surprise to absolutely NOBODY.
It's a surprise to CEOs clearly.
They just ignore all this and keep going.
It depends on what you consider productivity. If you mean crunching numbers, like how many reports a week an employee can produce or something like that then, yes, productivity provably will skyrocket thanks to AI slop. But once you start factoring in quality or usefulness of the work then productivity will plumbing down.
Top analyst? More like SLOP analyst!
The name of that top analyst:
ChatGPT
If corpo is paying me to generate slop in their internal documentation I execute. Especially since they plan to train another AI on the doc we generated. Their "expert" which is the son of one of the chief, have implemented a RAG which doesn't support TXT files, nor word documents from before 2022. So yeah unusable project, so now we have to convert 20 year of documentation which is old word or txt files to new word format. I'm sure this will improve productivity.
Whay kind of antisocial elements store documentation in word format? Are you some legacy engineering company?
Old applications... Like last full install was 2009 and it still run one the same OS.
Those who have increased their productivity will not share that with capitalist in exchange for the undervalued salary.
We already saw productivity increased multiple times with salaries not representing it anyhow.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
