A user on Reddit notes that AI agents haven't reduced workload; instead, they've accelerated the pace of work, allowing for more experiments, code, and ideas to be generated. Citing a recent WSJ piece, the post mentions startup founders are working longer hours because agents let them move faster. The author asks the community if they are working less or simply achieving more in the same amount of time.
