> Otherwise, people will take every time savings possible

And you're saying they won't if you only cap the maximum amount of time they can work?

> It's about people being exhausted

Work can be difficult and exhausting and I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. When I started my job I was tired often because it was hard. I got better at it over time.

I'm really not into any job where my value is strictly tied to the time I put into it. I much prefer a job that some weeks takes me a lot of time and some weeks takes not as much time.

If people are limited in how much time they work, they'll use AI to try to get more work done in that time. You'd have to also limit how much work people are expected to do. Good luck advocating for that change in modern corporations.

It’s not always exhaustion, though. I work with several people who blindly spout AI responses out of sheer laziness.
