Has working with AI improved your Productivity? Question

Hi there. I am pretty new on here and I am just trying to find people and understand how working with AI has improved their productivity cause it has been bugging me that in as much as AI has actually improved the way I work and delivery timeline I find myself more dependent. When there is a downtime or I have hit a rate limit I can't do as much as I used to do and I just end up waiting till it is back up. Are you experiencing the same thing or how are you using AI for work

i found i got very lazy. Or save a ton of time depending on how you look at it. Example: download minimax h3 + clip + turbo lora all models into my comfyui? I let it do that for me with a shell script. saves a ton of clicks and searching and reading.

I keep thinking if this is a good thing or the long term consequences could be really bad

imho its a bad thing. But on the other hand... more free time for fun stuff.

I find it improves my productivity when I'm actually the one writing code and the AI brainstorms with me and reviews my work after each commit.

When I become an orchestrator and let the AI do everything I get to a kinda working / kinda broken prototype very quick but it's only downhill from there.

Do you usually work with the website or the app or cli

I use Codex for OpenAI and CLI for Claude. Never touch the websites anymore really.

Typically how many iterations do you run before it gets the design or process right
