Most recently, AI helped me salvage and refactor a giant and completely mismanaged outsourced rewrite of a popular niche site.
Without it, the site would suffer a slow and painful death in the SERPs and would lead to about 10MM annual loss for the company.
Starting from scratch with a proper, qualified team was not possible for political reasons.
So, being able to do it as a single person, with heavy AI assistance, is a huge win.
I wonder how a single handed savings of 10 mil might get rewarded in a company. Was there at least a pizza party?
Where I work there probably wouldn't even be a promotion on the line, not in the same year at least.
