What to know
- Our interpretation: examine what changes when a familiar task becomes a review task.
What respondents reported
Atlassian’s November 4 survey report found that 82% of 949 AI users said AI had taken on at least some work they enjoyed. Separately, 82% said this about work they disliked. These equal percentages do not establish that the same people reported both. Ten percent said AI had taken on all their enjoyable work, versus 3% for disliked work.
Teamwork Lab surveyed 1,013 full-time US knowledge workers from September 28 to October 1, 2026. Questions about AI’s role went to the 949 AI users. The article provides no full questionnaire, sampling frame or weighting details. Responses describe perceived task changes and cannot establish AI’s causal effects or job losses.

Our interpretation
Try describing one familiar assignment twice: first as the person producing it, then as the person reviewing an AI draft. Compare the questions each version requires you to answer. A portfolio note could explain which judgments carried over and which became harder to inspect. This is an original practice exercise that the survey did not test.
Sources & method
AI-generated synthesis of the original report. The practice exercise is editorial interpretation.
