@stroughtonsmith Ugh that sounds awful.

The dishwasher analogy struck me: while we do save time washing dishes thanks to the machine, we also easily become more wasteful in our usage of clean dishes. Same with clothes -- since they can be cleaned so easily, why not wear a fresh shirt for work everyday instead of the same one for a whole week?

Now what's the AI rewriting going to do but create more messages, which need to be summarized badly by AI to keep on top of it so we can message more 🥲

@ctietze @stroughtonsmith Yeah the superficial dishwasher analogy kind of felt wrong to me, too.
But on the surface level, it's valid IMO.
Just on a deeper level, the premise of women being able to do all household chores (alone) and work (part-time) just looks bad from where we are today.
But in the end, women earning more of their own money was probably a good thing for emancipation?

As to rebound effect, I agree with you on AI/LLM, but it's hard to find an innovation without those effects.
