Do they?

With AI agents, I work less, not more. The difference is it's off the books. On paper I seem to work the same but not in practice. I've gone from 40 hour work weeks to maybe 2 or 3 hours a day pushing some prompts. Someday, it might be 2 or 3 hours a week.

Not everyone is a techie working from home with chill managers. Most people still have to clock in the office every single day, llms just make them take more work. Let's see how it goes in term of burnouts

That only works until they realize what's going on. Then you will be expected to output so much that you will have to prompt for 40 hours a week.
