The AI Productivity Trap

In "Challenging The Myths of Generative AI"[1] Eryk Salvaggio mentions what he calls the productivity myth, saying, "The productivity myth suggests that anything we spend time on is up for automation — that any time we spend can and should be freed up for the sake of having even more time for other activities or pursuits — which can also be automated. The importance and value of thinking about our work and why we do it is waved away as a distraction. The goal of writing, this myth suggests, is filling a page rather than the process of thought that a completed page represents."
