    I think you just proved my point.

    18 months down to a few weeks. That’s great, for the company.

    But, did anyone get 17 months off or get paid 17 extra months for doing the same work that would have taken 18 months? I don’t think so.

    You got extra work but didn’t get paid for the extra time it would have normally taken to complete the task.

    See, what Bill said can’t actually happen, because people are paid for the time or work they produce.

    How would an employee be paid for something that AI did? Capitalism won’t let this happen.

      I did not prove your point at all.

      I’m not sure why you think employees should be compensated for the productivity increase that’s created by products the employer is paying for. AI is just a tool, like Excel.
