> According to the study, "users report average time savings of just 2.8 percent of work hours" from using AI tools. That's a bit more than one hour per 40 hour work week.
Could be data is lagging as sibling comment said but this seems wildly difficult to report on a number like this.
It also doesn't take into account the benefits to colleagues of active users of LLMs (second order savings).
My use of LLMs often means I'm saving other people time because I can work through issues without communications loops and task switching. I can ask about much more important, novel items of discussion.
This is an important omission that lowers the paper's overall value and sets it up for headlines like this.
