Ethan Mollick compares AI-era work to hand-weaving versus power looms

Ethan Mollick says in a Vox interview about his new book that the meaning of work can be understood by comparing craft with industrialization.

He uses the image of a hand-weaver working alongside power looms to frame the question of what AI means for human work. The interview is the only report on this point, and it describes Mollick's framing rather than any measured outcome.
