AI Completely Failing to Boost Productivity, Says Top Analyst AI may or may not excel at a lot of things, but from an economic standpoint, it's definitely not making us more productive.

Always good to see a bit more attention getting paid to what is arguably Moz's best work. We ran a series of ITEMs on The Filth in our newsletter the other month starting here, with Cover Stories!

This worked for me as a kid.

I have NEVER smoked a cigarette.
