if you measure • the input time into an agent like openclaw (ie. the time you dedicate to set it up, fight it, correct it, edit his deliverables to the desired quality, etc) • and the output time (ie. the time the agent actually saves for you) defined as an efficiency factor: AI_efficiency = output_time / input_time I am pretty sure that AI_efficiency tends to 0 for 99.9% of the people that have ever used it. This means today, and for the foreseeable future, humans are spending more time on their agents than the time the agents are saving to their humans while humans call it productivity boost. *this does not account for things like coding, cowork, or simply web-based llm work.
