Do you have a source for that? Everyone I know who works outside of tech is complaining about how AI is making their jobs harder because it’s wrong so much of the time that they’re spending more time correcting it than it saves, and it’s been a boon for cheaters looking to remove obvious tells from their attacks.

  I'm talking about people who shower after work not people who shower before work. I have no doubt that people who are having AI foisted upon them by admins at the behest of someone else hate it. They use AI as basically a leveled up version of the summaries google used to provide for certain search types. Saves them a bunch of obnoxious clicking around on the internet or in software that was never designed for mobile or to make giving up the kind of info they're seeking easily.

    That’s usually also followed shortly by learning that you can’t trust the results or you’ll be making customers whole.

      These people usually know enough to know when it's "not quite right". Same "don't trust the docs" story that existed in many workplaces long before AI An example I saw recently was someone asked for a modern equivalent of a grease that's no longer made/relevant and it replied back with some weird aviation stuff. The "real" answer wound up being "just use anything, the builders intent in specifying was to prevent you from using tallow or some other crap 100yr ago"
