In the article, one source stated that their work has become more intense. This isn't something I anticipated, but it seems the logical conclusion: if you utilize AI for all the easiest parts of your job, then all that remains are the hard parts, which now dominate your workday because you knocked out all the easy things quickly.

Gets me thinking about how I need some of the easy things to be a release valve for my workflow. I need the sense of accomplishment from those easier/smaller tasks to keep up my morale and energy for the larger projects.

I feel the same way; having a mix of high- and low-intensity tasks in a workday stresses me out less because I can use the easier tasks as a warmup or cooldown for the larger tasks.
