Is AI a tool or a crutch? Are we looking to use AI to produce super-human results and maintain a schedule NO ONE should endure?
When computers were introduced and widely available, experts expected that increased productivity would mean less time needed to complete the same amount of work, allowing employees to have more leisure time and better work-life balance.
How's THAT going for you?
Instead, we expanded the scope and complexity of our work, raised expectations for output, productivity, and responsiveness...and the boundaries between work and personal life blurred as work became more portable.
Do we think AI will finally help us achieve work-life balance or will we double-down on our addiction to chaos and AI will just help us maintain our nonsense--just as faster speeds!
