AI's Impact on the General Workforce
Our general sample of professionals consistently described AI as a significant boost to their productivity. While 86% reported that AI saves them time and 65% expressed satisfaction, complex workplace dynamics still influence AI adoption.
86%
of professionals report AI saves them time.
A notable theme was the social stigma associated with using AI tools at work, mentioned by 69% of professionals. This often leads to users concealing their AI assistance.
Navigating AI Stigma
A fact-checker revealed: “A colleague recently said they hate AI and I just said nothing. I don’t tell anyone my process because I know how a lot of people feel about AI.” This highlights the need for sensitive change management and open dialogue.
While 41% felt secure, 55% expressed anxiety about AI’s future impact. This anxiety drives various responses, from setting boundaries (25%) to adapting roles (25%).
Augmentation vs. Automation
Self-reported AI usage differs from observed patterns. Professionals perceive their use as 65% augmentative and 35% automative, whereas Claude usage data shows a more even split of 47% augmentation and 49% automation. This gap suggests post-chat refinement or usage of multiple AI providers.
| Usage Type | Self-Reported (%) | Observed Claude Usage (%) |
|---|---|---|
| Augmentation (AI collaborates) | 65% | 47% |
| Automation (AI performs tasks) | 35% | 49% |
Shifting Focus to Human Interaction
A pastor shared their vision: "...if I use AI and up my skills with it, it can save me so much time on the admin side which will free me up to be with the people." This exemplifies the desire to delegate routine tasks to AI to focus on high-value human interactions.
AI's Impact on Creative Professions
Creative professionals also reported significant productivity gains from AI. 97% found that AI saved them time, and 68% noted an increase in their work's quality. However, these benefits come with unique challenges.

Similar to the general workforce, 70% of creatives grapple with peer judgment regarding AI use, often leading to a reluctance to openly discuss their methods.
Brand & Stigma in Creative AI
A map artist noted: “I don't want my brand and my business image to be so heavily tied to AI and the stigma that surrounds it.” This illustrates the tension between leveraging AI for efficiency and maintaining professional reputation.
Economic anxiety is prevalent, with concerns about market saturation and job displacement. Sectors like voice acting have seen significant disruption.
AI's Economic Disruptions for Creatives
A voice actor starkly stated: “Certain sectors of voice acting have essentially died due to the rise of AI, such as industrial voice acting.” This highlights the tangible economic shifts AI is introducing to creative industries.
The desire for control over creative outputs is universal among creatives, yet in practice, many acknowledge moments where AI steers creative decisions, blurring the lines of authorship.
Blurred Lines of Creative Control
One artist candidly admitted: “The AI is driving a good bit of the concepts; I simply try to guide it… 60% AI, 40% my ideas.” This reflects the complex, often collaborative, nature of human-AI creative processes.
AI's Impact on Scientific Work
Scientists view AI as a valuable tool for tasks like literature review and coding, but current AI systems often fall short for core research functions such as hypothesis generation and experimentation. Trust and reliability remain critical barriers.
79%
of scientists cite trust and reliability as primary AI barriers.
The necessity of rigorous verification processes often negates the efficiency gains AI could offer, leading to frustration among researchers.
The Verification Paradox
An information security researcher explained: “If I have to double check and confirm every single detail the [AI] agent is giving me to make sure there are no mistakes, that kind of defeats the purpose of having the agent do this work in the first place.”
Unlike creatives, scientists generally do not fear job displacement. They emphasize the irreplaceable role of tacit knowledge, human decision-making, and external constraints in their research.
Tacit Knowledge & Human Expertise
A microbiologist highlighted the limits of AI: “I worked with one bacterial strain where you had to initiate various steps when the cells reached specific colors. The differences in color have to be seen to be understood and [instructions are] seldom written down anywhere.”
Despite current limitations, an overwhelming 91% of scientists desire more AI assistance, particularly for generating novel ideas and providing comprehensive research support.

The Vision of an AI Research Partner
A medical scientist articulated a common aspiration: “I wish AI could… help generate or support hypotheses or look for novel interactions/relationships that are not immediately evident for humans.” This underscores the demand for AI as a true collaborative research partner.
