I look at AI usage at work as basically taking on a bad but salvageable employee. For every use case, it needs a manager overseeing all their work and adapting to their strengths and weaknesses while also considering cost. It's a deployment problem created by over promising.

The salvageable employee will actually learn.

The AI doesn't learn.

They're only equivalent for the kind of manager who thinks investing in people is a waste of money.
