AI promised less work. I've never worked more
A software engineer argues that AI tools, which were supposed to lighten workloads, have instead increased it. Writing from personal experience, the author describes how automating parts of coding has shifted effort toward reviewing, verifying and fixing AI output, leaving less downtime rather than more. The piece has struck a chord among tech workers who report the same paradox in their own jobs.
