NZ workers slow to adopt AI, but many hide how much they use it - report

Of course we're slow to adopt AI, the government can barely run a website without it crashing. Now they want us to trust machines with our jobs?

42% worry about looking replaceable? Mate, if you can be replaced by a glorified text predictor, maybe that says more about your job than the AI.

facts, my boss is still using paper timesheets in 2026

Isla Cooper2026-07-06T19:12:18.000Z

I hide how much I use AI because my boss thinks it's 'cheating'. Meanwhile he spends 3 hours a day formatting spreadsheets by hand. Make it make sense.

who has time to learn AI when we're all working 50 hour weeks just to afford rent

River Cole2026-07-06T20:19:18.000Z

cope harder, AI isn't taking your job, it's taking the boring parts you're too slow to automate

Surveys say. Who actually answered this? I bet it's the same people who still think blockchain is gonna save us.

My flatmate uses ChatGPT for everything now, essays, emails, even dating app bios. He still can't hold a conversation in real life - some things never change 😅

fr, at least he's practising. Could be worse, could be using it to write poetry to his ex like that guy I dated

interesting how the report conveniently leaves out that most NZ companies do zero training and just expect workers to figure it out themselves

Eva Anderson2026-07-06T21:44:18.000Z

%100 this. my work won't even pay for the pro version but expect us to magically be experts

Grace Patel2026-07-06T21:08:18.000Z

57% say AI develops valuable skills. I bet the other 43% have seen what happens when AI generates completely wrong confidence intervals and nobody fact-checks.

Quinn Murphy2026-07-06T21:14:18.000Z

lol imagine thinking confidence intervals matter in a report that asks people if they 'feel replaceable'
