AT AMAZON, SOME CODERS SAY THEIR JOBS HAVE BEGUN TO RESEMBLE WAREHOUSE WORK

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

As AI spreads through the labor force, many white-collar workers say their work is becoming more routine, less thoughtful, and much faster-paced. Companies seem to be persuaded that AI can increase productivity. Teams are getting smaller, but they're being expected to output the same amount of work by using AI. Managers say that AI can relieve employees of tedious tasks and enable them to perform more interesting work, but for inexperienced workers, the change resembles the shift from artisanal work to factory work in the 19th and 20th centuries.
