My colleagues and I use AI all the time. We use these tools to multiply individual efforts.
Instead of researching frameworks to build a doc around, we generate one and start chunking data into it.
Instead of analyzing single docs, we create a Claude project and load our docs in then query it like a database.
It's akin to the invention of the sewing machine for tailors - new tool for old work, only of the white collar variety.
As I put it to them "If I want to ride a bike, I don't want to build the bike to ride it"
I don't think people truly understand just what AI can do besides make funny pictures. Which is ultimately their loss.
Several lawyers and law firms have already damaged theirs.
