AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

    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.

    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.

    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.
