    Cool, 1-2 hours a WEEK. So that’s 2.5 - 5% of your time, and this is supposed to impress anybody at all? Oh, and the company selling the AI nonsense to your company is making more from the licensing than your hours would cost your employer. So honestly, who’s making out best in this scenario?

    My guess is the instant you attempt to automate “5 hours” of your work, or about 12.5% of your time, you’re going to spend 2 hours verifying the things it guessed and fixing them.

    I enjoy my new 2 hours of free time each week

    You know what I do instead? Enjoy those 2 hours regardless. What kind of dystopian hell do you live in where you’re struggling to find 2 hours in an 8 hour workday? Good god.

      Bruh…… on an average 8 hour workday I log 10-12 billable hours in tickets, or projects, or whatever I happen to be working on. That’s from overlap/multitasking as I’m constantly interrupted in my tasks to help others with theirs. I’m lucky to get 2 minutes to catch my breath

        Sounds like you should manage your time better, or hire employees. Having a word guesser respond to customers saving you single digit percentage points of time isn’t really making the difference that you think it is.
