It's not obvious to me that employees are motivated to be more productive for the sake of productivity.

  is it not obvious that there must be some who will be? my experience has been that new grads are willing to try out new things - it may be that this particular AI won't get them anywhere and maybe they'll become disillusioned, but the next crop of graduates will embrace the next big thing, and if that turns out to make a huge difference, they will reap the rewards.

    It's not obvious that in the general case, employees can be motivated by getting work done if the reward is more work to do.

      no, the reward is a CV that will bag them a major payrise at the next gig. not everybody wants that, so it'll never be the general case. but they might still take your job - along with several others'.

        It's not clear to me that anything novel done at one enterprisey job has a predictible impact on how much more you could ask for next time, beyond learning the skills to do the work and proving you can take on responsibility or make decisions. As an IC, there are so many other bottlenecks, that at best it'll just be another tool; in many cases, I don't think the value derived from a faster coding tool would surpass the value of reducing the number of meetings, which are tremendously burdensome and always creep into what would otherwise be the time you'd spend thinking about a sufficiently important problem.
