Research indicates that while AI tools enhance productivity, they may negatively impact mental health. A survey of 2,500 workers found the most frequent AI users faced 88% higher burnout risks and were twice as likely to quit. Conversely, 88% of freelancers viewed AI positively without mental health issues. Workers increasingly see AI as coworkers, with 85% reporting greater politeness towards AI than humans. Despite productivity benefits, many employees are experiencing diminished psychological safety and team connection, raising concerns about long-term workforce implications.
"Following a survey of 2,500 workers...the most devoted users of AI tools...are also 88% more likely to experience burnout and twice as likely to quit, compared to their colleagues who use the technology less frequently."
"Among all respondents, 90% said they've come to view AI more as a fellow coworker than merely a tool...85% of respondents said they're more polite to AI than to their fellow human workers."
