> I’ve seen employees spend days drafting documents that a free tool like Mistral could generate in seconds, leaving them 30-60 minutes to review and refine.

What I have seen is employees spending days asking the model again and again to actually generate the document they need, and then submit it without reviewing it, only for a problem to explode a month later because no one noticed a glaring absurdity in the middle of the AI-polished garbage.

AI is the worst kind of liar: a bullshitter.

You're describing incompetence or laziness—I’ve encountered those kinds of people as well. But I’ve also seen others who are 2-3 times more productive thanks to AI. That said, I’m not suggesting AI should be used for every single task, especially if the output is garbage. If someone blindly relies on AI without adding any real value beyond typing prompts, then they’re not contributing anything meaningful.

> incompetence or laziness [...] If someone blindly relies on AI

That's basic human behavior and AI won't fix this. It will only make it worse, and that's my main gripe with AI.
