Most innovations to make things easier/more automated have caused humanity to work harder and longer. It would be quite humane if AI allows us to finally do the opposite but I don’t think that will be the case; The new level of productivity is often just the new baseline that competitors have to meet. Someone still has to run the AI. It will be a while before AI can fully reproduce and improve itself, especially throughout the whole supply chain, which means humans still need to be in the loop for that. “Smarter” or not, AI will be symbiotic with humanity for a very long time to come.
