A new study reveals that employees who rely heavily on AI tools at work are more prone to burnout and eventually quitting—ironically, many of them admit they're nicer to AI than to their coworkers. It’s like the more we lean on tech to ease workloads, the more it backfires by draining us emotionally.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about AI replacing tasks—it’s about how interacting with machines might be subtly eroding job satisfaction. If people are burning out and treating AI better than humans, it hints at deeper workplace tensions. Companies rushing to adopt AI should probably ask: Are we making work easier, or just weirder and lonelier?
