Out of the few that said AI made their productivity better, most of them couldn’t code.

Note this point makes business leaders so excited. They hear "cheap labor can be productive". Missing the point that the output is supremely dubious. They are "productive" because they don't even know if the result is good or not, and so they can accept what is handed to them.

Currently, have a feature I thought we should have done, but management said one of the sales reps vibed up the answer, so we don't need to do it. I used it and pointed out that the result was actually incorrect, but management thinks I'm just some luddite because they can't understand the nature of the problems either.

Took me quite a few years to realize: when looking at usefulness of AI, I think in terms of "does it help me do my work better". A lot of other people only think of "does it help to spew out more <whatever. lines of code? bug fixes? releases?>"
