Workers are spending more time correcting AI-generated content than doing actual work
Workplace AI use comes with various drawbacks, not least spending time correcting and revising AI-produced and assisted material.
A recent study reveals that workers utilizing AI in the workplace spend more time correcting the technology's output than performing their actual tasks. Over half of the respondents found that they needed to make substantial corrections to AI-generated material, while a third believed that checking the AI's work took longer than doing the task themselves.
The Use.AI study surveyed 8,000 adults who use AI in their jobs and found that while AI makes it easier to produce work, it also requires significant revision. Around 48% of respondents have encountered problems with AI-produced documents, material, and code, with 34% forwarding the technology's work without checking it first. This can lead to issues when the AI creates unsuitable or unreadable content.
Additionally, 43% of respondents had to redo work that was unsuitable due to AI assistance. The research indicates that businesses may need more oversight to ensure AI fulfills tasks accurately, as more time is being spent on resolving errors, quality issues, and verifying AI-produced material.
