I've noticed first hand how the scope of responsibilities is broadened by integrating AI on workflows. Personally if feels like a positive feedback loop: I take more responsibilities; since they are outside my scope I have a harder time reviewing AI output; this increases fatigue and makes me more prone to just accepting more AI output; with the increase in reliance on AI output I get to a point where I'm managing things that are way outside my scope and I can't do it unless I rely on AI entirely. In my opinion this also increases Imposter Syndrome effects.

But I doubt companies and management will think for a second that this voluntary increase in "productivity" is any bad, and it will probably be encouraged

I mean this has been occurring for years/decades now.

Have 10 people on staff.

Fire 5.

The remaining 5 have to do all the duties or get fired, for the same pay.
