I work for a consulting company, we know exactly how much each billable person makes the company and whether the ROI is worth it.

We don’t have to measure “productivity gains”.

I personally don’t come close to that and neither do I suspect most of us. Between using my $20 a month ChatGPT subscription with Codex and the amount of time I spend on Zoom calls “adding on to what Becky said” and “looking at things from the 1000 foot view”

On another note, the grunt work I use to delegate to a junior consultant, I now can get Claude to do in a fraction of the the time. They were making a lot more than the worse case of $72K a year fully allocated. But honestly most of that work is done with my $240 a year ChatGPT subscription + maybe $600 in Claude at the current prices/limits
