do we have companies attributing worker productivity gains to gen AI? 

my anecdotal experience of trying to use LLMs for writing is... zero productivity gains, no experience of writing (or thinking) better, faster. can generate mediocre writing & conventional ideas endlessly, but turning that mid text into anything I'd want to publish feels harder than just being thinking & writing about something myself from the jump

I've found a local LLM setup super helpful for keeping things like documentation and build scripts up to date, and for writing boilerplate code that I can then go back and refine 

but it all comes down to the implementation which still requires a capable user to set it up properly

if the user isn't capable it's my experience that AI can actually reduce productivity

for instance, I work with some people who routinely use AI copypasta in their day-to-day & the result is at best blatantly AI generated and unprofessional, at worst it's resulted in wasted time from entire discussions happening based on an AI-generated premise that someone put forward that had no relevance to reality and only confused things further
