AI and Increased Workload

AI has increased productivity, but workload has grown. Discussing the necessity of a 4-day work week.

😫 Today in a private chat, we discussed how AI has greatly increased productivity, but instead of the promised automation, everyone's workload has only grown, especially intellectually. Now I handle 8-12 tasks in parallel, and I need to keep the context in mind, and even with ADHD, it's very draining. By the end of the day, just giving directions all day, my brain is boiling.

As a result, we are facing (I already see it in some) global burnout on all fronts.

And it made me think that the promised 4-day work weeks or 6-hour workdays are not a privilege due to everything being automated, but simply a necessity, otherwise people just won't manage?
