Why do you think this is? Who wants to spend an afternoon gluing API calls together when the robot can do it in 5 minutes?

If you look at the data 25% of the people who reported attempting a task without AI did not complete it. Seeing as the time spent on AI tasks was not that much higher than the time spent on completed Non-AI tasks, I suspect it was less about unwillingness, and more about inability.

We should really be studying AI related cognitive and/or skill decline more heavily.
