This is also my experience. At [my company name], we have a coding agent integrated with Slack that allows people to simply @bot to complete no brainer tasks. And the result is there is no more easy task, because easy task is now automated, and everything left are mentally exhausting task.

Yeah, it’s very good for productivity & focus to have some easy tasks to give you a quick win & dopamine boost. Spending all day reviewing AI output is NOT that.

I suppose some say this is an argument in favor of non-human workers, but the whole point of this endeavor should be to improve human society. (Isn’t that, allegedly, what tech companies are all about? :p)
