It's the summer of 2026. Is AI really cheaper than humans or is it an outright lie? People said AI models be improving, becoming ten times more efficient and cheaper, but what is the reality? What can we really expect in 2027, for example?

There was a great example of the issue with AI when compared to skilled workers.

There was a company that needed a special function in their software, they wrote it in four weeks and it worked fine.

Then they hired an AI pilled CTO, and needed to write a very similar function to the previous one, only this time, the CTO demanded to save time with AI.

The second function took months of testing to be production ready, and was still far more buggy than the first one, even a year or two later they still had issues with it.


I work at a company with AI-pilled management, they push hard for copilot, and I have noticed that the admin center for Copilot in Microsoft 365 has an overview screen where it has stats, and one of the stats is "hours saved with copilot".

I would LOVE to see how those stats are calculated, they are probably extremely vauge and highly inflated.
