Missing variables:

1. Quality of work
2. Number of people that got fired for hallucinations (poll was done in December 2024!)
3. Whether it is true that, for example, a programmer would before work 129 minutes per day which has now been reduced to an AI working 39 minutes per day for the programmer, while the programmer does nothing all day yet still gets paid for a full day?

As AI tools become increasingly integrated—and in some cases, even mandated—into professional workflows, their real-world impact on productivity is becoming more evident.

This chart compares the average time it takes U.S. adults to complete 18 common work tasks with and without the use of generative AI, based on a December 2024 survey of 4,278 respondents conducted by Stanford University and the World Bank.
