Isn’t it possible we perceive we are doing more work just because we are producing more output, closing more tickets, and releasing more features? Of you’re still sitting in the desk giving the same brain hours to the work, then you’re doing the same amount of work, in some reasonable sense
This is also where is makes sense for “the company to expect MoRe WoRk FoR tHe SaMe PaY?!?”
But, this model does (likely) result a reduced need for headcount. That’s the scary part. People complaining about putting in the same hours and being chaffed that they get the same pay for more productivity is bupkis. But people getting cannned or unable to find work, I really feel for them.

Makes sense, but are you taking that work on independently? Like you would otherwise be just talking a walk, but not, because you CAN, you talk AI through work tasks while on the walk? Or you’d get fired otherwise?
I agree the headcount side is the scarier part. Especially if/when we run out of ideas or experiments.
