Productivity is relative to whatever we value. That could be building things, making art, making scientific discoveries, or delivering food to people in poverty.
Maybe you value non-tangible, non-durable things like experiences. That's great, but it would be weird to tell someone who's devoted their life to X "there's more to life than X." (Replace X with any of the fields mentioned above.)
And experiences absolutely benefit from productivity improvements. AI has helped me plan better trips, find places and activities I had no idea about, better prepare for weather in remote destinations.
It’s said that “productivity” is mistakenly connoted as scoped to work.
