OK, Really! Microsoft says people are too tired to work but that AI can help

Microsoft`s Annual Work Trends Index discussed workers feelings about Artificial Intelligence applications, and how they feel about using them in the workplace. What bothered me the most in the initial paragraphs of the article, Was that two out of thre workers stated that they don't have enough time or energy to Complete their jobs. My question is Whether we are asking too much from our Workers, or is it that we have the work ethic of years past? I don't see the innovation of finding new to increase efficiency even with all the tools we are being handed.

I can see the use case for AI being used to gather non-opinionated data to help with research but we need to be really careful about AI generated opinion pieces because someone had to write the code to help to generate the opinion in the first place. This is very worrisome to me. I think we pay way too much attention to others in social media without thinking fr themselves.

Another interesting result of their poll was that 70% of the workers want to utilize AI in their workplace but on the the other hand, almost half of them were worried that AI might cause them to lose their current jobs. I think this is a needless worry since most managers probably see AI as just another tool for you to make your work more effective. It probably is a possibility if you don't make use of this technology that you might have an issue. But that is that is the case underperforming in any job.

I should think that in any case you should always be on the lookout for any tool at your disposal that will enhance your ability to do your job in a more efficiently with better results.
