Anecdotally, with Gen AI I've been able to get 30 billable hours of work done in about 12 this week. I had to break down a detailed 320 page document. The thing is, I am good enough at my job that I can do that on my own. The difference with AI is that the final product is neater, and I'm not as mentally drained/carpal tunneled afterwards. Bottom up automation, for the worker's benefit only, is the only kind I like.
