I don't think LLMs make work easier. They make work faster, and that is "better" for companies and give workers an approximation of ease bc of the apparent lack of labour. You're still accountable for the output, which makes you a details reviewer, which I often find harder w/o the original labour.

Also LLMs make work harder because now you're racing your ghost, sort of like a ghost car in a racing game. You're now competing not just other labour, but your own labour. If you're not self-replacing, we may have to replace you. Work is perpetually accelerated, you with it.

LLMs also make work harder because your labour is what grants you access to healthcare in certain jurisdictional hells. In much of the world personhood grants access. Work is more fraught under AI governance because now you're always looking over your shoulder while also self-defeating/-competing.
