Appearing productive in the workplace

The article argues that AI tools can generate work that appears competent without real expertise, enabling cross-domain production by novices and non-specialists. It links organizational incentives to momentum and visibility over accuracy, contributing to a decoupling between the produced output and the producer’s actual competence. It notes studies showing mixed productivity gains and overconfidence, and recommends using AI only for tasks that can be verified, with the human maintaining final judgment.
