> Wondering if eventually, as more jump on and settle in, we'd see a measurable downtrend in productivity The reality of digital automation is that productivity is bound to go up dramatically anyway, at least for the next 20-30 years.

Work is a mean to an end (human welfare, peace, etc). If we can reach that end with less and less work, that's good news.
