The article questioned the traditional narrative, that AI-based tools free us from drudgery and thus give us more time to think and create.

It is often much easier to deal with an openly hostile coworker than to try and interpret the signs of a passive-aggressive person. Aggressive behavior in the workplace is very evident and, because of its overt nature, becomes a little easier to escalate to superiors and address as well.
