Once you get over the initial skill hump.
Ai actually does give you the mythical x10 productivity boost.

Even allowing for the real, uneven results generated by Ai (because human workers are always 100% accurate and never phone in their output), the productivity boost is real.

Real world example.
I had a user yesterday who wanted to change their WP theme, but they wanted to drop elementor. And wanted to ensure they could do a clean divorce.
Sure, you could check all 220 WordPress HTML pages to see which contain elementor tags manually, asses the degree of fuckery with your brilliant 100% biological mind that just craves to do shitty work like this.

or

You could prepare a grep script checking each element or tag vs the HTML, and still evaluate the impact manually. But the user had no skill to do that.

or

You could pay webmonkey about $500 by my accounting.

Or you could set Ai on it and 30min later you could have a HTLM report, assessing the impact precisely.

So your options were 2-4 days of mindnumbing boring and error prone work that gave very low quality results (the actual assessment) or 30minutes of Ai that's good enough.

There is a genuine AiPsychosis phenomenon, but mastering a tool that is still in its nascent stage of development is hardly psychosis.

No more than choosing a power tool over a manual one.
