Lol, what a slave mindset. Just because a technology exists, and most of the human cattle use it, does not mean that it's necessary for someone to use it.

Sure, be less productive, see how that works out for you. Your attitude in 2026 is crazy to me. Maybe you're just using chat, I don't know, but it saves me hours daily and saves my brainpower for situations that truly need it. Work smarter, not harder.

Most 9-5 workers (statistically) do not get to enjoy extra hours clawed back from labor. It's hard enough filling an 8 hour office day as it is.

And now you want to automate what little most workers do?

We all seemed fine with machines replacing telephone operators and spreadsheets replacing computers (the people).

I'm fine with machines replacing labor... If we completely and totally remove capitalism from the equation.

I'm clearly not being pro 9-5 here. But in a 9-5 world, we need jobs in order to eat.

LLMs do not make people more productive. They only give the illusion of productivity.
