Corporate workers treat AI as half the job while Reddit insists AI is useless
yalag · reddit · 2026-09-29
A Redditor highlights a striking disconnect: in North American corporate jobs, AI is already ubiquitous — most employees have paid accounts and a large share of their output is expected to be AI-assisted — yet mainstream Reddit sentiment (e.g. in r/technology threads) remains convinced AI is useless and a waste of resources. The post asks how these two parallel realities coexist, sparking discussion on the gap between actual workplace adoption and online discourse.
