Workers are spending over 6 hours a week botsitting AI, fueling job frustration
A study found workers spend over 6 hours a week on 'botsitting' — manually correcting or intervening in AI outputs. This hidden labor fuels job frustration and burnout. You may need to account for similar manual oversight costs when deploying AI in your own workflows. The study highlights the often-overlooked human labor required to maintain AI systems.
Key takeaways
- Workers spend 6+ hours/week on manual AI correction.
- 'Botsitting' linked to increased job frustration and burnout.
- Hidden labor costs should be factored into AI deployment.
