I work in the food industry in a somewhat big company in Italy. In all the productive process, we have found exactly 1 (one) application for an AI. And I'm not talking about an LLM, but about the good ol' machine learning: It's a system that checks the labels of the product to see if they are good or not. It needed training but now it can check if the labels are fit for the market faster than a person. That's it. That's the single part of the whole process in which an AI has removed a person and just because it's a job that a human couldn't do it fast enough anyway.
For the rest? The higher ups realized that there's always the need of human intervention because even the simpler work requires of a decision making that a machine simply can't do.
We also have nopilot for the computers but only because it comes with the office package that the company pays. Nobody actually uses it other than to ask it stupid things.
