Your examples indicate that you're working with unproductive people.

The truth may just be that you're wasting time and energy engaging with a non-productive coworker's poor outputs.

Which is the case for probably 90% or more of the companies/offices/situations. There are ALWAYS going to be non-productive people, or people that are less productive than you. And guess what, that is OK. We learn to live with them, to work with them, and we make the best out of it.

If a new tool makes you classify as "unworthy to worth with" a really high percentage of humans in a really high percentage of situations for not being up to your standard, so you can be a bit more productive, I think the tool itself might be at fault.

AI has made me more productive, yes. I can also see myself start loathing the job I used to love, and hating the people interactions that I used to like. I would trade my extra productivity anytime.

> I think the tool itself might be at fault.

I don't think so. I don't think it's about being "unworthy to work with" (your quote not mine).

I think the uncomfortable truth is that AI is making it harder for all of us to prove that we're productive.
