Even if being "overemployed" is technically legal, that doesn’t mean there won’t be consequences. Experts say your LinkedIn activity, Zoom invites, and taxes can give you away.
If you can perform the work of five positions in the same amount of time, then you’re unnecessary and AI will fill all of those rolls in short time. Those people, unless they adapt quickly, will find themselves in low paid, high stress jobs, just verifying the work of the AI instead.
AI will likely not be taking many jobs - it’s continuing to be unreliable for most circumstances.
That’s not to say all circumstances. Regardless, the industries that use it heavily will likely destroy themselves. Having people doing that work is how you prepare them to do the more difficult work that AI is even more unlikely to succeed at… so you are starving yourself of a workforce for the more important jobs in your industry. The pool of people with X years of experience will shrink to nothing, and they won’t be willing to hide newbies.
I say enjoy it while it lasts.

He’s a weak soyboy compared to the steam engine. John Henry is the better comparison.
