OpenAI claims AI saves workers up to an hour per day

OpenAI claims that AI saves its workers 40 to 60 minutes a day.

Creator of ChatGPT conducted a survey 9,000 employees in 100 companies who used artificial intelligence tools within three to four weeks. Overall, three-quarters of employees who use AI said it has improved the speed or quality of their work, according to OpenAI.

Naturally, OpenAI is optimistic about these results. For example, Ronnie Chatterjee, chief economist at OpenAI, said: Bloomberg that three out of four people now say that thanks to AI they can do things they couldn’t do before. “This is often overlooked in conversations about AI and work,” he said.

However, this report represents only one part of a larger conversation about artificial intelligence. Firstly, this report – and other equally brilliant developments from rival AI vendors such as Antropic. – not peer-reviewed, as noted Bloomberg. In addition, they are focused only on entrepreneurship.

But even beyond all this, these data seem far from conclusive. For example, surveying people who have only used AI for three to four weeks is quite limited. They may have actually had a good experience in the beginning, but it is unclear whether it continued after this short period.

The question also arises of what can be lost in exchange for the “return” of at least an hour of time. After all, it has been well documented how AI can create “hallucinations” this is another way of saying incorrect or misleading results. Therefore, although OpenAI staff may think They're becoming more efficient, but the AI ​​may still be making bad decisions.

Look no further than Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) research conducted earlier this year The results revealed that 95 percent of organizations found zero return on investment despite tens of billions of dollars being poured into the sector. However, the study found that companies that bought artificial intelligence tools were more successful than those that built them themselves.

And in other cases, AI can be a hindrance. For October Business Insider reportEmployees at video game giant Electronic Arts (EA) say they've had to deal with artificial intelligence spitting out erroneous code and other hallucinations, which is, of course, counterproductive when it comes to “saving time.”

Employees also expressed concern about job losses due to artificial intelligence. Apex Legends manufacturer. He noted that EA was able to use AI to perform a key part of its job: reviewing and summarizing feedback from game testers. And in a creative field like gaming, there is no guarantee that generative AI will use the materials it produces ethically.

It remains to be seen what other data companies like OpenAI will tout with their grandiose claims that “AI is the future.”
