Anecdotally, workers report a bigger increase in burnout because the increased pressure for more productivity and AI usually talking the more creative parts of the job thus leaving the boring verification and fact checking work to the worker.

That’s where a vicious cycle can form: increased capability leads to increased output, which leads to higher expectations, which then pressures further expansion

Same as The Digitalization promised. Instead of reducing work we receive and send even more emails, chats, and notifications.

To the surprise of absolutely nobody

“…Employees worked at a faster pace, took on a broader scope of tasks, and extended work into more hours of the day, often without being asked to do so,” Ye and Ranganathan wrote of their in-progress research.

TL;DR: the study says that AI doesn’t save time, but it intensifies work because the people using it feel more confident in tackling more things (that’s my interpretation after skimming it)
