alt Hacker News> Literally no one, no one even claimed we would work less due to AI. It is one of many absurd claims about AI here. There was no period in which we would get think pieces predicting more leisure time.

> I cant even think of period where AI think pieces would promises much positive - it was sold to CEOs, so pitch was always "higher unemployment".
Higher unemployment means people work less.
> Higher unemployment means people work less.
Higher unemployment typically mean that people who are employed work more and under worst conditions - because their negotiation positions is much worst. Just about the last thing high unemployment means is that "the average employed person has more leisure time" or "average person in general have easier life".
Conflating high unemployment with "worker has more free time" is beyond absurd.
But OK, I dont read telegraph nor seen what that hedge fund guy was saying.
