Except the way I read this is that it’s not that AI is taking jobs (at least not in the way that most people mean) it’s that they’re laying people off to invest in AI.
So, I have a question. I see lots of reports of individuals writing blog posts about how great AI has been at accelerating their workflow. I also see lots of reports about “we’re going to lay off 100’s or thousands of people with AI”. But I don’t see lots. Reports connecting the two. What are the products or methodologies companies are using to get this improvement. Any actual case studies?
It's basically just PR to put a positive spin on layoffs: "We aren't doing poorly financially - we're being smarter by using AI". Especially if they are hawking AI products or features to customers.
