Better maybe fact based? I use ai X amount of hours per day. I use Ai for % of needs? My personal feeling of AI improvement in my life is +X%

Something like that. What you think?

Sounds good, but I'm scared that for some other people it's not an improvement since there will always be someone saying that X amount is too much or not enough. But yeah, I could say that 1/4 or 1/5 of coding (or rather, googling of stuff I simply don't know) I do is now delegated to an llm, question is if another person would look at this statement and say something along the lines of "cool, I use it more/less but I'm happy that it helped you/I'm sad that it caused you trouble", I slowly think that we might be discussing kind off the wrong thing. But yeah, numerical/fact based approach doesn't sound half bad even though I have some feeling at the back of my head that it can also be kind off self fulfilling but nonetheless it helps in conveying the message better than what I used before (the I use it a lot/not much/I try to stay in the middle).

“I use the computer a lot” :

For an average person: maybe means 8 hours.

For a dev maybe means: 16 hours

For a farmer: 2 hours.

Who’s right?
