In fairness, AI has radically improved my personal productivity.

I can make an instructional video for an internal task, use STT to transcribe the audio and then have AI organize my dictation into instructions. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, but it does about 85% of the job and saves me a ton of time organizing and formatting.

Additionally, it is very good for other menial tasks. I needed a comma separated list of in time format 00:00, incrementing by 30 second intervals, up to 50 minutes. Time math and formulas are weird, having it create that saved me a lot of key strokes.

Could humans do these things? Sure, but it's not an efficient use of time! When I need it done, I need it immediately; and I don't need someone on staff for these random tasks as they aren't remotely frequent enough to offer anyone a semblance of consistent employment.
