AI is a really good demo for a lot of people, but once you start using it, the gains you can get from it end up being somewhat minimal without doing some serious work.
I’m so sick of “AI demos” at work. Every demo goes like this.
- Generate text with an LLM.
- Don’t fact check it.
- Don’t verify it works.
- Oooh and aahhh at random numbers and charts.
- Higher ups all clap and say we could be 10x more productive if more people would just use AI more.
Meanwhile they ignore that zero AI projects have actually stuck around or get used in a meaningful way.

As someone who sometimes makes demos of our own AI products at work for internal use, you have no idea how much time I spend on finding demo cases where LLM output isn’t immediately recognizable as bad or wrong…
To be fair it’s pretty much only the LLM features that are like this. We have some more traditional AI features that work pretty well. I think they just tagged on LLM because that’s what’s popular right now.
