A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

C4 are showing "Nordic Train at Christmas", the Bergen to Oslo line - my favourite (done 6 times). But edited down to 1 hour, and narrated (why?).
However, there's a full 7h 14m version on YouTube. Fond of the hour or so from 1h 57m when it's up in the mountains:

This is a key point. Where I'm hearing people praising/using AI in healthcare, education and therapy settings it's not because AI makes their work more inclusive, rigorous, ethical, or engaging. It's because they're so overwhelmed they want to offset as much work as possible just to keep swimming.
There is one more post to be written here, about how AI is now often an austerity technology, inserted into a human process to compensate for the fact that there is just not enough time and money, and many workers are expected to do more and more with less and less.

Every prompt to chatbot software is “generate me some text.” If it generated you some text, it performed its function correctly. It never lies, it never wants anything, it’s text generating software that generates text.
Not wanting to disappoint you so much that it lies is the last quality I want in a computer.
