AI fatigue: Nearly three-quarters prefer pre-ChatGPT work
A survey by technology consultancy Adaptavist of 2,500 knowledge workers (500 in Germany) finds growing "AI fatigue." In Germany nearly three quarters say they long for the pre‑generative‑AI workplace and 41% would prefer generative AI abolished. Respondents cite poor-quality outputs: 45% say results make work feel less meaningful, 37% report lower motivation, and 25% say their creativity is constrained. Many flag productivity hits—39% in Germany spend more time checking AI than they save, 42% say poor outputs slow projects, and 49% see team efficiency harmed. The article references an OpenAI analysis of over 800,000 messages and industry warnings about job risk, while noting a tension as a majority still want their company to expand AI use.
Employees Sabotage Company AI Plans Over Job Fears
A t3n report summarizes a Writer survey of more than 1,200 office employees (and a similar number of company leaders) across the UK, US and Europe that finds significant internal resistance to corporate AI rollouts. 29% of employees admitted actively opposing or sabotaging their employer’s AI initiatives (feeding models irrelevant data, using poor outputs, skipping training, manipulating metrics). Respondents cited job protection, safety concerns, weak company AI strategies, creativity loss and increased workload as drivers. Many leaders reported heightened stress. Writer says the issues point to change-management failures and recommends inclusive rollout practices and transparent AI use-cases to reduce fear and internal resistance.
