A Mumbai entrepreneur has sparked a debate about how artificial intelligence affects work. Mustafa Yusuf shared that some simple tasks that used to take 30 minutes now take two hours with AI.
At the same time, more complicated tasks that once took hours can now be done in about 30 minutes. He called this the “AI productivity paradox,” showing that AI doesn’t always save time.
Many people online agreed, saying AI’s usefulness depends on the type of work, speeding up some tasks but slowing down others when extra editing or corrections are needed.
