AI driven economy - but not fewer hours
AI is creating new work that cancels out some potential time savings from using AI in the first place.
Adoption of AI is going gangbusters, but results in the marketplace aren’t dramatic. Best case I’ve seen is that AI is like a lot of other automation, it free’s time for more work; not less.
