As a systemically unemployed zoomer, yes. Although not so much AI as automation.
The only times AI actually works is in fields like health insurance claim processing, where the goal is provide the worst service possible.
AI isn't a magic human replacement in most fields at the moment.
What language models allow is automate tasks that couldn't be automated before. For example, if you spread a 10% time gain from the people who are already working, you are going to hire 10% fewer people.
I'll say here, where no one knows me, that GenAI tools have probably cut my workload by half. Probably more if you discount the amount of time I spend staying ahead of folks. I can also say that none of my teams have had additional any headcount approved in the last 2 years.
That honestly sucks as a zoomer. I will say that the people we have added to teams have all came from internal promotions or acquiring small companies. Maybe start a passion project company and start building something even if it doesn't make money and is mostly on paper.
i haven't found much use in these tools just yet. what do you use it for that makes you so efficient?
