Executive Summary
Despite significant individual productivity gains from AI (saving 11 hours/week), only 13% of organizations see corresponding performance improvements, highlighting a major disconnect.
A new form of hidden labor called 'botsitting' (feeding AI context, checking outputs) consumes an average of 6.4 hours per week, leading to employee burnout and attrition.
The fatigue from 'botsitting' fosters 'botshitting'—shipping unverified AI work and offloading accountability, which degrades work quality and creates downstream problems.
Effective AI adoption is driven by peer-to-peer influence, especially from cross-functional colleagues, whose solutions are more resilient in real-world, messy workflows.
