Exactly what I keep saying when people start blaming the tools being used for automation. Productivity is up and up and up, but none of that has been given back to the workers in the past fifty years. If I try to find dialogue on that issue, I run into a mountain of blatant propaganda defending the continued robbery of the middle and lower classes.
Comment on 'It almost doubled our workload': AI is supposed to make jobs easier. These workers disagree

Well, would you look at that, it’s playing out exactly the same as every other technological advancement ever. Instead of using it to reduce employee workloads and maintain an equilibrium of output, it exploits them by brute-forcing increased productivity with no changes to compensation, and the capitalists hoard ever more of the profits for themselves.

Temporarily embarrassed millionaires will always lick the boots in the naive hope of pulling themselves up by the straps

Also the amount of work that it puts on IT, implementing new tech and not providing/approving the training (which only goes so far)

I mean, did you read the article?
The context of that quote was about people using AI to write shitty stories and then submit them for review by humans. They weren’t complaining about AI that was supposed to help them at work, being used to hurt them at work…
In fact, the entire rest of the article is just one long anecdotal story from a single Union leader for a very specific (though briefly represented) trade group.
There’s almost nothing of substance here and I’m shocked your comment Is so highly upvoted.
