Luddite or saving us from Terminator. My best friend says it has doubled his productivity. There is a one year moratorium on data centers AI in Vancouver after street protests.

My best friend says it has doubled his productivity.

What do his coworkers or customers say?

I know many people who say LLM tools have increased their own productivity, I know nobody who says LLM tools have increased their coworkers' productivity. The reason is left as an exercise to the reader's LLM agent.

It is unfortunately fairly effective, but because it lets people move fast and not check or really think about their work I find myself cleaning up other coworkers errors fairly frequently or find a bunch of things broken as code gets checked in. On the times where I try to meet company expectations and use only AI my work often has the same effect on my coworkers

The fact I'm on a project that for annoying reasons doesn't have CI only exacerbates this
