Workers grappling with the rapid growth of artificial intelligence have said they feel “devalued” by the technology and warned of a downward trajectory in the quality of work.
Recent analysis by the International Monetary Fund found AI would affect about 40% of jobs around the world. Its head, Kristalina Georgieva, has said: “This is like a tsunami hitting the labour market.”
Workers who have trained AI models to replace some or all of their roles tell the Guardian about their experiences.
There’s slack time in people’s daily work hours. You work an 8 hour day, possibly you’re only actually productive for 4 to 6 hours.
Take that into account and suddenly that thing that claims it can cut an hour or two here and there gets a lot more interesting.
