Fuck AI

I'd say "yes" because it means you're pushing behind the current limits. It becomes bad when you have the manufacture a problem for it to solve.

Maybe. If a task takes 8 hours, and you have to do that task weekly, how much time should you invest to make that task take less time? What if it's once a month instead? What if it's once a year? What if you can reduce it by an hour? What if you can eliminate the work completely?

Ignoring AI for a moment you could probably find someone who could estimate using current tools and answer the question as above. If you invest 20 hours to eliminate an 8 hour task once a week, that quickly pays for itself. If you invest 200 hours to reduce an 8 hour task once a year to 4 hours, that will likely never pay for itself by the time the requirements change.

But AI is a new tool. With any new tool you have to figure it out before you can make a good estimate and figure out what is worth it. But even worse AI isn't getting estimated, it's just being thrown into existing tasks.

Now IF AI were truly magical and had amazing task reduction then just throwing it at things isn't a terrible idea. IF AI can just immediately improve 10 things, even if it fails at a few others, it might be worth it.

AI also has a shitton of money riding on it, so the first entity to figure out how to make money with it also wins big.
