Largely the same. I just stay in VS Code more and ask questions in the side bar instead of going to the browser to search. Sometimes it saves time, other times it’s a massive time sink. It probably all shakes out pretty even in the end.

My management is very anxious to demonstrate that we’re delivering AI in some form, even though they have no idea how it would actually be useful to our specific use care, nor does anyone else. We end up wasting a lot of time spinning lies to make it sound like we are, or could in the future, use AI for a bunch of random problems that are already solved without AI.

Overall, I’d say productivity has decreased, as AI often becomes more of a distraction than a tool.
