This final debate explores whether automation will mostly free humans from drudgery or mostly displace and deskill them. The optimistic side sees AI as a "co-pilot" that can boost productivity, open space for creativity, and help organizations focus on high-value, meaningful work. The skeptical side fears job loss, pressure to do more in less time, and creativity being squeezed into AI-optimized templates rather than genuinely expanded. At stake is our vision of the future of work: augmentation versus alienation.
