Everyone’s more productive.

Everyone’s more productive.

Nobody’s more irreplaceable.

Microsoft ran a massive study across 10,000 workers.

Said AI tools like Copilot increased “productivity.”

Their own data says otherwise.

Workers completed 26% more tasks—but each task took longer.

Quality didn’t improve. Just formatting.

Executives “felt more strategic.” Because Copilot drafted their emails.

OpenAI said lawyers were up to 140% more productive using o1.

They forgot to mention the hallucinated cases that got attorneys sanctioned in court.

Teachers supposedly gained six hours per week.

No data on student performance.

Just less prep time.

Faster doesn’t mean better.

OpenAI’s July 2025 economic paper calls AI the next engine, the next transistor.

But it’s filled with language like “could,” “potential,” “early glimpses.”

No material ROI. Just velocity.

330 million U.S. ChatGPT messages per day.

That’s not output. That’s noise.

I used to think AI would multiply leverage.

Now I think it just multiplies content.

They’re not building value.

They’re flooding the zone.

It scaled.

But it didn’t survive.
