Do you agree with Lucy Guo stating AI is making people work harder?
Lucy Guo a co-founder of Scale AI gave an interview where she said that AI has made people work harder. We gained AI agents but workers need to stay up to monitor them and then review the results. Lucy said time savings from the AI agents was negated because people have been assigned more tasks and goals as workers are being stretched thing. AI is making the grind culture more widespread so people are working harder to keep pace with others.
I see companies using AI as the excuse for downsizing and the remaining workers have to keep up all the work output with fewer employees. That seems more AI is being used as a scapegoat. Indirectly making people work harder because the CEOs want bigger profits.
What do you think? Is there a trend of AI making people work harder?
