The new global study, in partnership with The Upwork Research Institute, interviewed 2,500 global C-suite executives, full-time employees and freelancers. Results show that the optimistic expectations about AI's impact are not aligning with the reality faced by many employees. The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees using AI.

Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, the study reveals that, 77% of employees using AI say it has added to their workload and created challenges in achieving the expected productivity gains. Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout.

I have never heard of Codeium but it says it's free, which may explain why it sucks. Copilot is excellent. Completely life changing, no. That's not the goal. The goal is to reduce the manual writing of predictable and boring lines of code and it succeeds at that.

Cool totally worth burning the planet to the ground for it. Also love that we are spending all this time and money to solve this extremely important problem of coding taking slightly too long.

Think of all the progress being made!

That instead of macros for code generation, templates and just using higher-level languages.
