AI Reality Check: 73% of ChatGPT use isn’t work-related 🚨

A new NBER deep dive analyzing 18B ChatGPT messages/week shows how people actually use AI—not surveys, not assumptions, real data.

Here’s what stood out:

🧠 AI is infrastructure for daily life - 73% of usage is personal (up from 53% last year). This isn’t slacking—it’s how people build AI fluency.

✍️ Writing dominates (but not how you think) - 24% of all usage is writing—and 2/3 is editing, not creating. AI is a thinking partner, not a ghostwriter.

❓ Asking beats Doing - “Thinking with AI” (decision support, learning, sense-making) delivers higher satisfaction than task automation.

💻 Coding is only 4.2% - Despite the hype, education and practical guidance matter more than programming.

Enterprise takeaway:

If you only measure productivity, you’re missing 70%+ of the value. The real impact is better decisions, faster learning, and stronger judgment.

AI isn’t just doing work—it’s shaping how people think.

👉 How are you measuring AI value in your organization today—output… or insight? Let us know in the comments below and read the full deep dive and put the insights to work.

Most teams use AI every day, but almost none define what their AI is actually accountable for. 🔥

This week’s Productivity Prompt walks you through creating clear AI job descriptions—so your tools operate with defined scope, boundaries, and KPIs instead of guesswork. If AI is acting like a junior team member, it deserves the same clarity and oversight.

Watch out for tomorrow’s edition of The Artificially Intelligent Enterprise — we’re diving deeper into how to structure AI roles that are precise, risk-aware, and aligned with your team’s performance. 👉 Don’t miss out—subscribe and stay ahead of how AI is reshaping real work.

Last week’s AI Lesson was all about mastering Google Gemini — and honestly, it might be one of the most important upgrades to your daily workflow this year.

If you spend your day inside Google Workspace, Gemini is no longer a “nice-to-have.” It’s quietly transforming how teams create decks, analyze data, prep for meetings, and ship work faster.

From “Beautify this slide” in Slides…
to multi-step automation in Sheets…
to Deep Research pulling directly from your Gmail, Drive, and Chat…
the real shift is this: AI is now built into the tools you already use, not bolted on.

Last week’s edition breaks down:

✨ How to access Gemini across Workspace
✨ The new presentation + deck-generation workflows
✨ Multi-step task automation in Sheets
✨ Deep Research for real internal insights
✨ Audio Overviews that turn your docs into podcasts
✨ What Gemini can’t do yet (so you don’t waste time)
✨ Advanced techniques to level up your productivity

If you’re choosing between Microsoft + OpenAI or Google + Gemini, this guide helps you make the call — and use the tools the way they were meant to be used.

And stay tuned — today’s AI Lesson drops later, and you won’t want to miss it. 🚀

Workforce 2.0 is here — and it’s not about replacing people. It’s about rewiring how work actually gets done.

This week’s edition of The Artificially Intelligent Enterprise dives into a shift I’m seeing across every industry:
AI is no longer a tool you “use.” It’s becoming part of the workforce.

🏢 Duolingo boosted content production 4–5x with the same team.
💼 Morgan Stanley hit 98% adoption across 20,000 advisors.
⚙️ Cisco trained 35,000 employees and saw 30–50% productivity gains.

The takeaway?
AI doesn’t eliminate jobs — it eliminates friction.
Or as Marc Sirkin says: “AI isn’t coming for your job. It’s coming for your workflows.”

In this week’s deep dive, we break down:

✨ The new AI + Human Operating Model
✨ Why the next 90 days are critical for leaders
✨ How to define AI “job descriptions”
✨ The role of AI Champions inside every organization
✨ Common missteps that slow transformation
✨ The S.M.A.R.T. framework for scaling AI responsibly
✨ Plus: This week’s AI Toolbox on agent orchestration

If you’re building for 2025–2026, this is the operating manual.

Let’s build the future of work—intentionally!
