Some tools were useful, but many did not become part of daily work. Around 80-90% of what was built is either unused or has unclear value.

Claude is still useful as a chatbot, but it is used less than before, and ChatGPT feels better for general conversation. The main point is not that AI is useless; it is that being able to build something with AI is different from building something worth keeping.
