Interesting read. Thought I’m not sure I loved the way the graphs were laid out. I didn’t do a deep dive on them but some felt like they were displaying the data in a way that wasn’t rooted in the facts.
Either way. A whole lot of words and sentiments that could have been inferred. People use the new tools, we feel they make us more productive (but by how much), and it’s scary because C suites are bearing down in FOMO.
I would have LOVED if they got some form of stats in here as to how much performance people are getting out of these. I’ve heard 100X, actually. I’ve heard 5X frequently. Some people think it slows us down. Nobody really knows, and I guess it depends on how you’re using it. I personally have said to my CEO that I feel 30-40% faster, though I hate to have numbers associated with it… these tools have been around for years now. 5X faster than… what? It’s just expected to learn the tools and use them where they help. I would love a consensus on actual, regular folk and how much more productive it makes them. I’m doubtful it’s north of 10X. 4-5X seems optimistic? Not sure.
At my company, it’s being essentially shoved down our throats - “be 5X faster, tomorrow, this guy on the AI podcast said this is possible!!” And if you aren’t using the tools to build some useless internal application, you’re looked at as a non-adopter.
It’ll be interesting to see where things go in the next year.
