This is how I don't get when some predict that we'll have a shorter working week when AI improves productivity. If productivity gains are 50% the companies would rather have 50% lesser employees rather than 50% shorter work weeks.

Or have the same work week and employee size and get twice the amount of work done for the same cost. It's never going to benefit the workers in any case.
