A senior AI researcher reportedly said AI saves him about 24 hours per week on tasks in unfamiliar domains, such as handling a hardware library or modifying a kernel.

“But then he says,”

“in domains which I'm less familiar with,”

“if I need to go wrangle up some hardware library or make some modification to the kernel or whatever,”

“where I'm just like, I know less,”

“that saves me on the order of 24 hours a week.”
