Office workers have a quiet new advantage and their bosses cannot always see it.
Research published on Tuesday by Use.AI, a platform that bundles several large language models into a single subscription, surveyed 9,684 working adults in the US, UK, Canada, the EU and Latin America.
The study found that 52% said AI had made them appear more experienced than they actually are, painting a picture of delivered results running ahead of underlying skill.
Some 64% said they had used AI to complete work they would otherwise have been unable to do independently, while 43% said it had helped them take on responsibilities they did not yet feel qualified to handle.
A further 35% conceded they would struggle to perform parts of their current job without it, and a quarter worried their employer believes they are more capable than they really are.
