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.

That’s because you’re using AI for the correct thing. As others have pointed out, if AI usage is enforced (like in the article), chances are they’re not using AI correctly. It’s not a miracle cure for everything and should just be used when it’s useful. It’s great for brainstorming. Game development (especially on the indie side of things) really benefit from being able to produce more with less. Or are you using it for DnD?

I use it for tabletops lol I haven’t thrown any game dev ideas in there but that might be because I already have a backlog of projects cause I’m that guy.

Once a couple weeks I go somewhere to play it or similar games. Can’t follow, feel awkward, get sensory overload and a headache, get terribly tired, come home depressed over a wasted day.

That is, once in 3-5 games I feel that maybe it wasn’t that bad.

The groups I learned of were really weird about letting anyone else show up. Was told I had to form my own group and write my own adventures.

Thank you, fellow nerds.

Right now the choice is Dark Soul bosses who are mean, scripted stories (although BG3 is good), or people online who have sex with my mother.

LLM chat bots just open up new possibilities.
