Has any AI tool actually saved you significant time, or do they mostly just move the work around?

Unpopular opinion: most AI tools don’t actually save time. They just move the work around. You still have to prompt it, check it, edit it, and sometimes redo it. That’s not automation — that’s just a different kind of work. The only ones I’ve seen genuinely cut time are search tools like Perplexity and coding tools like Cursor. Everything else feels like it’s optimized for the demo, not real use. Change my mind submitted by /u/aiprotivity_ [link] [留言]
