5-50x huh? Years of AI hype and yet still to this day, not a single person or organization can provide any kind of reputable evidence that it has significantly increased their productivity.
I think there's a significant value in the "plan" mode that copilot, claude, etc. expose.
I also think there's significant value in using these tools to connect data silos and combine information via RAG.
I think the long term value that comes from this stuff is going to be the specialized, narrower tools we can distill out from it.
