Weren't we supposed to be replaced by AI by now? Or at least work less? AI agents were supposed to take over the world. So when exactly is that going to happen, and why are we still working so much?
Because we can't pretend that nothing has changed. Even at my workplace, where data security is valued above pretty much everything else, we're already using AI coding agents. Which, in my opinion, means they're basically everywhere by now.
