Is anyone else feeling this?
AI has made me faster at almost everything. Writing, research, planning, summarizing, learning, replying — all of it is quicker now.
But instead of feeling like I have more free time, I feel like the standard just moved.
If something used to take 3 hours and now takes 30 minutes, the result isn’t “great, I can rest.” It’s “great, now I can do 5 more things.”
I get why everyone is excited about AI productivity, and I use these tools every day. But I also feel like they quietly raised the baseline for what a normal person is expected to output.
Sometimes I miss when I didn’t know I could move this fast.
Does anyone else feel like AI made work easier technically, but life harder psychologically?
