Right now, in a lot of companies, someone is building a dashboard that tracks what percentage of employees used an AI tool this week. Seats activated. Prompts per person. Logins trending up and to the right. Somewhere a slide is being finished that says "73% adoption," and everyone in the room nods.

Everything easy to count is soaring. AI adoption is above 90%, so ubiquitous the researchers say "are we using AI" is no longer even a useful question.

One group of teams will spend the next year-and-a-half in a quiet crisis moving faster than ever, trusted less than ever, generating more output and less confidence, wondering why more AI didn't make them more valuable. The other group will look almost boring by comparison.

Chat GPT is the latest rage and I wanted to see what it had to say about my home town.
