Catalysts and causes might be entirely unrelated in a vacuum, but in context, they’re inextricably linked. In the real world, if the effects weren’t genuinely unforeseeable, manufacturers can’t absolve themselves that easily.
"Making" can mean different things. Yes, the new technology directly increases work by introducing new categories of tasks and a new learning treadmill to consume the time savings. Yes, the new technology does indirectly make us work harder by raising the expectations from management of how much we can get done in the same amount of time.

But a response to the title: "_buzzword tech_ is making us work more" - it's rarely the tech making us work more, it's normally the behaviour and attitude of businesses trying to profit from the tech that makes life hard for everyone.
