AI Adoption Is a Myth
The adoption of AI is often overstated, with most people not using it effectively. The gap between those who use AI regularly and those who do not is significant, and it is unlikely that the latter will catch up. The effective use of AI requires a specific set of skills and knowledge, which can be difficult to acquire.
- ▪Only a small percentage of people use AI regularly and effectively, while the majority do not use it at all or use it poorly.
- ▪The gap between those who use AI and those who do not is significant, and it is unlikely that the latter will catch up.
- ▪Using AI well requires a specific set of skills and knowledge, including knowing when to clear context and how to read a diff properly.
