AI only feels like it boosts productivity because it kicks the can down the road and makes it somebody else's job to clean it up.

You saved time generating your work email? Now I spend time translating what it's actually supposed to say because half of it is irrelevant garbage.

You saved time generating your event poster? Now I spend time recreating it (because you've anchored on that version), or painstakingly editing out all the incorrect notation.

You saved time generating your logo? No there's no way to 'clean it up', the anatomy and structure makes no physical sense. So I have to recreate it from scratch anyway.

You saved time automating this spreadsheet? It's not arranged in an importable format and now i have to spend time breaking down all the arbitrarily merged cells so I can even use it. My computer freezes twice under the load of processing excess garbage data.

You only think AI saves time because it's wasting somebody else's.
