If every employee had an AI assistant that doubled their productivity, would companies hire fewer people or expect twice as much work?

That’s a very optimistic way to look at it. That you think CEOs are looking use AI to assist their workforce and not replace them. Did you miss million layoff ?

My honest opinion, there would be more work expected of the employee, for the same amount of pay. Faster burnout and more employee turnover.

As it is now. AI makes it harder for people to get a job. IF, they get a job, AI forces MORE expectations of the employee. And significantly increases the fear of losing the job at any given moment, at a moments notice.

I see every proponent of AI saying that AI enhances or is supposed to enhance the employee development. I'm on the other end saying that every interaction between us the human employee and their AI coworker. (To me, that IS what AI is, IT is a coworker, it's not a friend, it's not your day to day "sidekick" It's a coworker) Because every human to AI interaction AI learns your job, your lifestyle, the business end of YOUR JOB to be able to replace you with the drop of a pin. And AI doesn't need compensation.

So how long can you keep AI less experienced than you?

history says expect twice the work, not fewer people. every big productivity jump, spreadsheets, email, got absorbed as higher expectations not smaller teams. work expands to fill the capacity. what actually changes is the bar for 'good' goes up, and the scarce skill shifts from producing output to judging it and deciding what to point the AI at next. thats who ends up more valuable.

It will depend upon interest rates.

No

In my experience more is already being asked of employees (as with most automation) because “they have ai to help” (chatbot) 🙄

It would make twice as many undetected errors and fail miserably.

Every employee? Let's say half, 2x productivity, companies will furlough en masse. Those remaining will see expectations triple or quadruple from before. Wages will stagnate and hiring will cease. Then SkyNet goes live and it's all over. Go with AI, we all go bye-bye.💙☮️

What ever happened to the promise that all this technology might actually give us personal time back? When will we challenge the standard M-F 40+ hour work week in the context of AI and the workforce without reducing wages?
