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.

AI is better when I use it for item generation. It kicks ass at generating loot drops for encounters. All I really have to do is adjust item names if its not a mundane weapon. I do occasionally change an item completely cause its effects can get bland. But dont do much more than that.

That's because you're using AI for the correct thing. As others have pointed out, if AI usage is enforced (like in the article), chances are they're not using AI correctly. It's not a miracle cure for everything and should just be used when it's useful. It's great for brainstorming. Game development (especially on the indie side of things) really benefit from being able to produce more with less. Or are you using it for DnD?

Wait, LLM’s can play DnD? You mean…I might finally be able to play that game?!? Hurray!

Who needs friends when you can play with LLMs!

Right now the choice is Dark Soul bosses who are mean, scripted stories (although BG3 is good), or people online who have sex with my mother.

LLM chat bots just open up new possibilities.
