Increasing productivity by 1500% sounds pretty earth-shattering to me.

What would you rather see instead?

If AI increased your productivity 1500% I shudder to imagine how little you get done without it.

The average productivity increase is not 1500% though.

Copilot saves my team enough time that we could split it up in 3 teams instead of hire 2 more teams of our team size to do that work. And we also didn’t hire new team members and are not planning to as we actually are running out of tasks. If this stuff gets any smarter, the firing will happen. Instead I am thinking of a new product instead to stop that. Pretty insane imho.

Ok.

A "mere" 20% would be a four day work week with zero productivity loss.

A four day work week requires a 25% productivity increase to result in zero productivity loss.

100 * 1,20 * 0,8 = 96

100 * 1,25 * 0,8 = 100
