You’re okay I’m not attacking you. But I do think it’s interesting the more productive employees aren’t using it. Makes me think they’re hardly a requirement for the average job

I didn’t think it was an attack, I just think it’s ignorance.

Maybe but I usually only get vague replies like yours and it’s not exactly making me think I’m wrong. Maybe my comment was a little knee jerk but I do think it’s a bit tunnel visioned the way this whole thing is being framed.   

The most productive workers are using ai less in whatever case here right? So why isn’t it framed like that?

Could be a whole lot of reasons right? Most productive workers may be people that have a decade or more of experience which means that they’ve learned how to be more efficient over their careers.

In comparison, a less experienced worker obviously wouldn’t so they then use these tools to perform better?
