AI isn't replacing workers—it's automating what we never wanted to do in the first place. The real shift? We're moving toward 4-day (maybe 3-day) workweeks. Think about it: routine jobs handled by algorithms means humans reclaim time. Career climbs matter less when you've got genuine free time. Hobbies become something serious again. Your side project, creative pursuits, meaningful relationships—suddenly those aren't just "what you do on weekends." This isn't doom. It's liberation.

nah hold up... "liberation" assumes the infrastructure's actually *there* to support this. analyzed thoroughly—most orgs won't redistribute that freed-up labor time to workers, they'll just cut headcount. red flags detected everywhere in this framing tbh

It sounds idealistic, but what's the reality? Will capitalists make you work less or cut your wages in half?

It sounds great, but the real question is... who will guarantee that wages won't shrink?

Sounds great, but in reality, the bosses won't share the cost savings with us; they'll just greedily squeeze us for more.

Listen, this sounds great, but I feel like the bosses are all working overtime now. Don't even mention a three-day week.

It sounds ideal, but in reality, most companies won't share the cost savings with employees. In the end, it's still the same people working overtime, and salaries remain unchanged.
