Here’s How AI Will Come for Your Job
&gt; The easier our labor becomes, the more of it we can do, and the more of it we’ll be expected to do.<p>I think it&#x27;s a red herring to focus on the &quot;quantity&quot; of work. If I can push a button and a thousand <i>things</i> are produced, I am not inconvenienced as a worker to the point that I should feel slighted by my employer for expecting more than if that button only produced one <i>thing</i> at a time.<p>The output quantity possible per unit of time isn&#x27;t the thing that stops employers overworking or abusing their employees, that&#x27;s what the law is supposed to be for.<p>AI adds very little to the conversation of increased productivity not increasing leisure time of employees. No amount of increased productivity through technological gains is going to suddenly make this happen. We need to decide as a society that the physical and mental health of all citizens is more important than maximum economic output and enact laws that enforce these limits.
