Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, employees say it has increased their workload, hampered productivity and caused job burnout, research shows.

The new global study, in partnership with The Upwork Research Institute, interviewed 2,500 global C-suite executives, full-time employees and freelancers. Results show that the optimistic expectations about AI’s impact are not aligning with the reality faced by many employees. The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees using AI.

Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, the study reveals that, 77% of employees using AI say it has added to their workload and created challenges in achieving the expected productivity gains. Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout.

You mean…I might finally be able to play that game?!? Hurray!

Once a couple weeks I go somewhere to play it or similar games. Can’t follow, feel awkward, get sensory overload and a headache, get terribly tired, come home depressed over a wasted day.

That is, once in 3-5 games I feel that maybe it wasn’t that bad.

The groups I learned of were really weird about letting anyone else show up. Was told I had to form my own group and write my own adventures.

Thank you, fellow nerds.

It’s the other way around for me, wanted to play in Star Wars KotOR setting, one time one guy showed up (but only over voice call), another time my buddy agreed to play.

Then wrote something in one DM’s setting, only that DM showed up, said the quest was actually cool with good ideas yadda-yadda and mentioned it on another game, and later reused some of the moments in his own ones.

But me coming to other DMs’ games seems welcomed.

Was told I had to form my own group and write my own adventures.

I think they didn’t like you or your way of playing busted something in the quest their DM wrote, or something like that.

It was probably the latter. Because if they didn’t like me that is much worse for a multitude of reasons.
