One AI researcher reported that AI models save four to eight hours per week in familiar domains, where they function more like autocomplete.

“he asked a bunch of ai researchers if you had 1 30th the amount of compute and he did 1 30th because ai is supposed to think 30 times faster if you had 1 30th the amount to compute how much how much would your progress slow down and they say i make a third of the amount of progress i normally do so that's just a pretty good like substitution effect of you if you get one tenth to compute your progress only goes down one third um i was talking to an ai uh researcher the other day who's”

“who's like just like one of these like cracked people gets paid millions and tens of millions of dollars a year probably um and we asked him how much do these ai models help you in domains you already are you know how much does the ai models help you in ai research and he said in domains that i'm already quite familiar with where just closer to auto complete it's like saves me four to eight hours a week um and”
