The AI Frustration Survey

100+ times... it's basically my co-worker

In the last 7 days, how many times did you feel genuinely frustrated with an AI tool?

AI keeps misunderstanding what I mean, no matter how I rephrase

I get a confident answer that turns out to be wrong

I have to re-explain context I already gave, repeatedly

It loses track of what we were working on mid-conversation

The back-and-forth takes longer than doing it myself would have

It solves something hard perfectly, then fails at something simple 

It makes up links, references, or data that don't exist

It apologises and agrees with me instead of pushing back

It breaks something that was already working

Restart the whole conversation over from scratch

Yes - I lowered my expectations of what AI can do

No - it's frustrating but it's still faster than the alternative

It put me in a bad mood that carried into other work

It made me less productive for the rest of the session

It affected how I interacted with a colleague or someone at home

It made me feel stupid, like I should be able to make this work

It made me question whether AI tools are worth the effort
