@beep Oh absolutely and the point you highlight in your post is still true! My anger about it is more about how sneaky an article like this is. Feels really dishonest about its supposed pro-worker positioning

Whatever the output gains promised by LLMs, their initial productivity surge is erased over time, and replaced by heavier workloads—and that leads to workers experiencing “cognitive fatigue, burnout, and weakened decision-making.” -

But it doesn’t define what productivity means, or how they measure it, or how accurate any of the outputs were, or even what work these people are having it do. What jobs were these? What responsibilities? But toss some care-crumbs to your burnouts and it’ll be fine.
Feels like a head-fake.
