We've all heard the grand promises about AI productivity gains, but I'm curious about concrete numbers.<p>Sure, devs say they're faster, but by how much? Are we actually net positive?<p>Would love to hear real numbers from other teams:<p>- What's your monthly AI spend?
- How do you measure the ROI?
- Most surprisingly profitable/unprofitable AI use case?<p>I'm especially interested in hearing from teams who've done rigorous before/after comparisons.
More pertinent question --- How much money will AI *cost* your business monthly?<p>At this point, no one really knows because the industry is currently running on venture capital.<p>Until the required investment is realistically quantified, meaningful ROI is not possible.
