Or those who value their work know their worth
Or employees using AI to generate their work/content now need to spend equally as much time reviewing their generated work/content.
It's like being a manager and asking your employee that you know always fucks up to do something. You have two options, get the employee to write it, then you check it after, or you write it yourself and save time on explaining or checking.
I CAN'T STOP WINNING!
If someone is already using AI at work then it's already done, the company doesn't need to hire anyone new if they have their existing employees using AI. They are requiring each employee to work harder using AI so they don't have to hire anyone else, shutting everyone out, and now we are beginning to see layoffs at various tech/finance companies.
This, people need to remember that the goal is to complete remove labor power.
Well, the majority of the extra work I'm doing these days is responding to security vulnerabilities. To be clear, these are things that have been vulnerable for years, but only now are coming to light because someone is using AI to probe the corporate networks.
Is it to much to work through during regular work? Is it not planned for and consequently results in additional work?

per hour :)
90 more minutes of gooning
It could also mean that 9 till 5 people don't like change and people who are willing to go the extra mile are willing to explore AI.

the greater issue imo is how its really not bad anymore, sure you still have to babysit it, but its improved significantly without any sort of regulations or laws in place to protect workers

You guys will believe anything that suits your head canon. This article and “analysis“ from an AI productivity tool is worthless 🤣
