Earlier quoted context omitted.
What kind of citation or evidence would you expect? How would you measure productivity gains? From my personal life and activities however it is very clear. I have simply been able to do so many things I would have never been able to do without AI.
> How would you measure productivity gains? I'm not entirely sure - certainly anecdotes abound (as do anecdotes to the contrary). I am however sure that when someone claims that a technology is world-changing, and that it has already led to significant productivity gains... the onus is on them to provide evidence for such claims
Should I not share my experiences then about something that can't be scientifically proven? I am not actually looking to prove anything, but I am sharing my experience. I don't even win anything from people believing me, but I guess I have this weird urge to "set something straight" if in my experience something is the case. I have done tons of DIY stuff that I wouldn't have been able to without AI. Tons of side projects. In my corpo work I have been able to do more with less hours and mental effort spent, although in corpo work AI has given me less gains since most of the time I have been blocked by other factors and everyone else.
It is too fast evolving to be able to be legitimately scientifically understood. It is non sense to expect that.
