Forced overtime comes to an easier, cheaper mind.

But how better done depends on the field. Me, having a faster computer reduces compile time. So NOT having AI overhead on my machine is more important.

People could get tons of flows improved by not abusing Excell as a database.

I am talking about the study, not in general.

All your examples show that you did not have anything in mind when you typed your previous comment.

  Your study has no control. So how do we know that’s the best way to get more out of people? The page linked doesn’t even specify what job types.
  
  I’d still wager they’d be better served by better applications, not AI.

We have our knowledge articles in an excel spreadsheet. If you wrote a virus that would scan every single Excel file and just delete any spreadsheet without any formulae in it you would cause enormous amounts of suffering but not do any actual damage.
