Brits spend nearly six hours weekly babysitting AI, eroding potential gains
TL;DR Summary
Brits widely use AI at work, but the Work AI Institute says the productivity gains are largely offset by 'botsitting'—an average of 5.8 hours a week spent loading context, re-prompting, and correcting outputs after 36% of sessions fail. The study warns that without operational discipline to ensure reliable results, adoption alone won't transform productivity, even as AI becomes more involved in HR decisions.
