Babysitting the Machine: Glean's Rebecca Hinds on the Hidden Human Labor of AI at Work

What was said

"We're seeing about 36% of all AI sessions fail, meaning a worker goes to use the technology and it's not successful. They either have to start completely from scratch or do significant rework."

According to Glean's aggregated telemetry data, more than one-third of AI interactions fail to produce usable results, forcing workers to restart or heavily revise. The highest exhaustion multiplier comes from feeding AI context that integrated systems should already know and debugging probabilistic outputs where the root cause is unclear.
