I can't access the paper but a lot of people are drawing wild conclusions from it and misrepresenting what's there.

In short, what I could find was, they asked 40 employees from a tech startup about their AI use.

They did no comparison study or experiment.

If I had to guess the tech startup probably works in AI as well. Not exactly an unbiased study.

Also startups are notorious for 7-day work weeks because they're...well...startups.
