   I’m not saying AI doesn’t reduce the amount of workers in certain roles. Just like ATMs meant you needed fewer bank tellers at a bank, using AI tools will reduce the amount of workers in certain roles.

   However this will be a gradual process not an overnight change warranting mass layoffs right away.

     @carnage4life I mean it reduces the number of workers in the Internet Research Agency, but that kinda work is literally all it's good for.

     The idea that adopting AI means doing layoffs is a sales pitch to justify replacing your payroll budget with an AI token budget.

     AI can perform certain tasks faster & cheaper than people but that doesn’t mean it can do entire jobs better than them.

     Smart companies are figuring out this difference
