We find no evidence of a sizeable negative impact of AI on workers’ well-being and mental health. If anything, there is evidence of an improvement in health status and health satisfaction, which may be explained by the decline in job physical intensity. Overall, our results are consistent with the lack of negative effects of AI on the labor markets.

That reads like an AI wrote it

Why would the article’s credited authors pass up the chance to improve their own health status and health satisfaction?

This study explores the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and workers’ well-being and health using longitudinal survey data from Germany (2000–2020).

It’s crazy the AI bros will say that this means AI is safe…

But then ask them how much AI has improved since 2020 and without a shred of realization they’ll tell you only an idiot would compare 2020 AI to 2025 AI…

Like, it’s not the study’s fault. It’s the fault of anyone trying to apply it to modern AI.

Critical paragraph:

Our research highlights the importance of Germany’s unique institutional context, characterized by strong labor protections, extensive union representation, and comprehensive employment legislation. These factors, combined with Germany’s gradual adoption of AI technologies, create an environment where AI is more likely to complement rather than displace worker skills, mitigating some of the negative labor market effects observed in countries like the US.
