Someone who builds premium dating apps, let's say, might use AI coding tools to create in one day what used to take three days. That means the worker is more productive. The worker's employer, spending the same amount of money, can now get more output. So then will the employer want more employees or fewer?
大多数人认为AI提高生产力必然带来就业增长，但作者提出了一个反直觉的问题：当工人效率提高，雇主可能会选择减少而非增加员工。这种质疑挑战了'技术进步-就业增长'的线性因果关系假设。
