Penguin Rebellion»You found that #AI “intensifies” work rather than reduces it. What does that look like in practice? What were the main ways you saw this play out?
In our study, intensification took three main forms in practice. First, people began taking on #work that previously would have belonged to someone else or might not have been attempted at all. The scope of what counted as “my job” widened.
Second, because AI makes it easy to start and continue tasks, work seeped into moments that used to function as #pauses. People would send prompts during lunch, before meetings, or in the evening when an idea came to mind. This dissolved some of the natural stopping points in the workday.
Third, workers increasingly kept multiple threads alive at once. They would run AI processes in the background while reviewing code, drafting documents, or attending meetings. Some even ran multiple AI agents simultaneously. This created a rhythm where both the human and the machine were constantly in motion.« (emphasis added)
