I increase double my productivity and I only have to work 20 hours rather than 40. That’s a good thing, everyone from Marxists to Monopolists agree that it’s good Marxists think the benefits of the increased productivity should go to the labour. Monopolists think it should go to the owners. Im not aware of anyone who thinks it’s better for a human to spend 10 hours work to produce enough food to eat that day rather than 1 hour.

As pointed out in previous comments, increases in productivity have not gone to reduce labor hours, only to increase ownership's profits. This is true of the computer, the tractor, the healthcare system, and the loom as made famous by the Luddites. Healthcare in the US leaves more people bankrupt than any other cause while massivley enriching ownership. Tke for example Rick Scott, who was the CEO of Columbia Healthcare during the era in which it was convicted of the largest (at that time) medicare fraud in US history. Then he bacame Florida's governor, and is now a US senator.
