Considering that Big Tech’s thing lately is “were going to fire 12,000 people and shunt their work onto other employees for no reason but to raise our stock price”, I’m a bit skeptical.

Yeah, this is already happening. I'm watching people lose their jobs. I'm starting to wonder how many AI apologists are real people without motives.

I'm not suggesting we ban it, either... But we need legislation and common sense laws/rules/limits. If this isn't achieved soon, countless workers will be upended for the enrichment of the few.

If a business borrowed too heavily during the last 5 years/super lower interest rates cycle and are now really hurting because they couldn't keep borrowing, they are choosing to reduce overhead ie employees. This was gonna happen no matter what IMO (i could be insanely wrong) but along came "AI" to solve all the problems aka shift the blame.

Like i said i could be way off but this seems like a fad that is gonna get scapegoated hard.
