I can understand how this looks great from a C Suite perspective, but do the actual employees find it useful or just another buggy PoS they have to deal with?

I can't stand these mcp initiatives that are such a waste of time and resources.
Now our secretary is able to consolidate some utxos and transfer fund between wallets using natural language on Claude. Such wow!
I expect to see all socialist-formatted companies to employ these AI tools at scale because that's they only way centralized behemoths with huge bureaucracies can hope to function. And it'll suck for everyone made to use them while the AI companies make out like bandits.
It is like science fiction movie, except that I can't say for sure how many are actually using these MVPs and PoCs for anything real.
Maybe I'm just backward thinking old school dev who takes his time to reason about things before adopting them in real scenarios. I feel the pace of using and producing buggy tools and spaghetti code is ever accelerating and there is no way back to sanity, whatever that is or was.
Considering that my Bible for software design was written in 1975 and basically describes exactly what you're talking about in its introduction, I can't say it's actually ever been different.
I've been learning a lot from Softwar's view of software from it's grounded theory point of view. That all software is as concrete as spoken and written stories. Given that you can do anything on a computer without nature to restrict you, you'll only ever see software grow and grow until it's broken and defunct unless it's well maintained by a benevolent line of rulers. And even then, those lines always end.
