That tracks well with my subjective experience.

At day job - finance/office stuff - essentially zero traction despite everyone having enterprise AI subs & brainstorming sessions about use cases etc.

Then go home & do some hobby coding and suddenly it's next level useful.

It's not that the one is harder than the other, but rather that many jobs don't have an equivalent to a code base. The AI could I think grok parts of the job but typing up relevant content & what is required would take longer much than doing the task. There is nothing there to copy & paste for a quick win in the same way as code.
