   @thomasfuchs Actually not a bubble but not gonna lie media hyped it. but it has taken many jobs and it'll. I don't think companies care how much it costs it'll continue to be more profitable for companies. Although it may seem that high-skill jobs will not be taken, AI will still harm most workers, especially considering that today's jobs are automated.

     @thomasfuchs This is worse than the crypto or metaverse fads, though, because many companies are convinced they have to implement AI or lose out to their competitors. (Oh, and it seems AI is just as big a boon for criminals as the crypto craze still is, with deepfakes and auto-creation of more plausible-sounding phishing texts.)

     @thomasfuchs Yes, that works when a bubble is isolated, but in this case the AI disease has spread to non-techbro companies too, so a lot of companies in other industries are going to be sucked in and suffer for believing the hype. Like Air Canada which had to compensate a customer because their AI customer service bot made up an answer, or McDonald’s whose drive-in AI mixed up the orders from multiple customers.
