What do you use AI for?
Pretty much everyone in my company also uses AI. But everyone sees the same downsides.

Yep. But on HN, there's a huge cohort of people saying AI is useless.
Everyone sees the downsides but the upside is the one everyone is in denial about. It's like yeah, there's downsides but why is literally everyone using it?
As a rule of thumb, most people who say things like "X is useless and a waste" or "Y is revolutionary and is going to change everything by tomorrow" when the dust hasn't even begun to settle are stupid, overly-excitable, too biased towards negative outlooks, and/or trying to sell you something.
Sometimes they have some good points so you should listen to what they have to say. But that doesn't mean you have to get absorbed into their world view. Just integrate what you see as useful from your current POV and move on.
Not everyone is using it.
Not yet.
