Cute–but it’s the humans that are burning out, not the robots.
A study by the Upwork Research Institute finds “AI [“Artificial Intelligence”] hinders productivity and makes work worse” (https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/26/ai_hinders_productivity/).
Are we trying to replace the human race? The study covered workers in the U.S., the UK, Australia and Canada… uncovering what we might call, after Shakespeare, a “winter of discontent.”
Bosses expect higher output from workers using AI, but what they’re getting is burnout: 38% of employees are feeling “overwhelmed.”
Yeahbut! AI is supposed to make things better–right? “AI seems to encourage magical thinking,” reports The Register.
Honk if you’re surprised.
Are we so cotton-pickin’ dumb that we can’t work without robotic overseers?
(Don’t answer that!)
