Does AI makes you less productive?

Came across this post from Dominik Sobe on X, and liked how he explains that he gets to do more with AI but still feels less accomplished. I am going to copy the post content here:

AI lowkey fu**ed up my productivity in a way I didn’t expect and I’m not sure how to feel about it.

On any given day:

I code more than ever.

I ship features faster than ever.

I do more marketing than ever before.

I even make slightly more money than before.

Yet, I feel like I have achieved nothing at the end of the day.

I go to bed lots of times lately feeling unaccomplished.

There’s this lingering thought of I could’ve done more.

Run more agents in parallel, run them while I’m eating, while being in the gym, heck they should do work while I sleep! You get the gist.

It sometimes drives me nuts lol

I remember days pre AI where I’d work on a feature for an entire week (that now takes me less than a day) and still go to bed feeling great and happy.

Now, there’s seemingly never enough.

What do I do to fix this? Anyone else having similar feelings?

I like this post a lot.
