This is exactly why I laughed out loud, incredulously, at Dell's "AI powered laptop" commercial that promises you will "free up so much time for the things you love" by using AI.
From washing machines to robot assembly, we're still buying that old lie??
The tools improve, the expectations increase, the wage stays the same.
I'm confused about the washing machine part. Do they not save time?
