My workplace has a bit of pressure to adopt agent teams.
The nature of my role is that I have to at least verify some scenarios.
Anyway...now I have a very nice report that Claude put together showing how using agentic workflows in my day to day is unlikely to result in substantive efficiency gains, could result in a *loss* of productivity or effectiveness, and has unknown costs that do not justify exploring beyond trivial cases like collating meeting notes.
And since AI tends to hype itself, providing that report to leadership has effectively eliminated that particular pressure
So, to recap, the main benefit I've realized from AI is deflecting leadership pushing AI 🤡
