AI Agents have helped up my productivity, but that's specifically because I can focus on the science, and delegate the auxiliary things to AI

Helped: Delegating auxiliary tasks like scripts and visualizations to AI.

… I imagine that the cost and trust risks in enterprise environments are similar, so this seems very reckless. AI Agents have helped up my productivity, but that's specifically because I can focus on the science, and delegate the auxiliary things to AI. I also believe I get this productivity out of them because my supervisor really drove home how hard I need to go on consistency checks and years of having my visualizations nitpicked (so I am able to do the same to AI and recognize when results are suspicious).
