Every single worker that has been laid off due to "increased AI productivity" is working less

As a broad historical trend? Maybe not

But fewer people working, right now? Absolutely

This isn't a useful definition of working less in the thread context and is not the kind of working less that I meant.

If it helps, imagine that I had asked for "when increased productivity translated to workers personally reaping the benefits of the increased productivity by being able to thrive while doing less instead of either being laid off or just being expected to do more".
