    Possibly, but there’s no practical use for it in my industry, and everything I’ve seen it try and do has been, at best, mediocre. I’ve also noticed that the people who are most enthusiastic about it are never particularly impressive themselves.

    Overall, I think it gets far more credit than it deserves, from both it’s fans and critics.

      Kinda makes sense that the people you see getting the most out of it aren’t particularly “impressive” when a lot of its practical utility is in fairly mundane office and middle-management work, no?

      But even fairly modest productivity gains multiplied across millions of workers can have enormous consequences.

      Whether or not those workers will actually see any financial benefits out of it is a different question entirely.

        Good yes finally! We need to burn the planet for modest productivity gains.

        So business created inefficient ways of working then pat themselves on the back when they come up with an expensive shortcut?

        Or you know, office processes are the problem.
