How helpful is AI?
Do large language models (AI) make you 3x faster or only 3% faster? The answer depends on the quality of the work you are producing.
If you need something like a stock photo but not much beyond that, AI can make you 10x faster.
If you need a picture taken at the right time of the right person, AI doesn’t help you much.
If you need a piece of software that an intern could have written, AI can do it 10x faster than the intern.
If you need a piece of software that only 10 engineers in the country can understand, AI doesn’t help you much.
The effect is predictable: finding work if your skill level is low becomes more difficult. However, if you are a highly skilled individual, you can eliminate much of the boilerplate work and focus on what matters. Thus, elite people are going to become even more productive.
