I'm having a thought now.
Each time we see "company laid off X employees to replace them with AI". Is it really to replace them with AI or is it just layoff because we are in recession that are disguised with AI to make it sound better ?
I was recently swimming in that thought soup, myself.
In reality, the truth is somewhere in between. Yes, AI is taking real jobs right now, not a speculative future, but so are the economic issues.
There are just so many people suffering. Young and old, there's not a demographic untouched by it. Plenty of blame to go around, for sure.
