AI assistants promised to free up our time — but somehow our calendars have never been busier. From AI writing our emails to drafting endless slide decks, the productivity gains often just fuel more… productivity.
In this episode of FutureScope with Anaiya, we explore the paradox at the heart of AI in the workplace. Why do tools designed to lighten the load sometimes make work feel even heavier? We’ll look at survey data showing that over 60% of AI users report longer hours, the cultural trap of reinvesting every saved minute back into tasks, and what it might take to actually reclaim the time AI offers.
With humor and insight, Anaiya and her co-host ask: Can AI really help us work less, or does it just make us “efficiently exhausted”? And what would it take to use AI not just to do more work… but to live more life?
