It seems that a society would require more people in order for this to be so, so that the same level of services can be provided due to the decrease in productivity. Accordingly, more services will be needed to account for that increase in people. This raises the question of whether there is a point where the two trends reach some type of harmony. Perhaps the evolution of "AI" and robotics will get us there (or not).

Ultimately, this raises the question of whether all this actually ultimately places us in a better position, e.g., the state of humanity as seen in something like the anime Darling in the Franxx. Interestingly, this is similar to the notion that poorer people that work less desirable jobs for less money are less lonely.

Aside from despising the “productivity” defense, the 4 day work weeks has shown to increase “productivity“.
