Idiots with MBAs are killing jobs. We laid off our entire HR team for ChatGPT with a custom prompt. It made up all sorts of fake HR rules that didn’t exist. Now the company is in legal troubles.
So guess what they did next? Lay off half of the legal department! They were talking about using copilot for tenant security next. That’s my teams domain so I’ve been looking for an exit.
Not sure which will fall first: my position or the company.
Business idiots are killings jobs. Generative AI is just their excuse to do it and threat to make people feel more replacable.
It’s on the verge of pedantic, but I feel it important that we blame people for lying and causing harm, and not let them hide behind the imagined inevitability of tech and progress.
Generative AI can’t replace shit, but the lie that they can and do, is the weapon wielded more than the tech itself.
It’s not a lie, it’s wishful thinking.
Please have babies.
AI is a cover for the delocalization of 1000s of jobs that now can be done in the 3rd world with the help of language models to make up for the language deficits of local populace. Several pharma, auto and IT services have now been moved to India and the layoffs given the cover of “economic headwinds”. I.e. Bosh is killing thousands of jobs in Germany but hiring thousands in India!? In the past year alone BOSCH India hired over 1000 people in India for the same class of jobs they are now extinguishing in Germany.
“Roles in administration, sales, development and production”
These CEOs should be hunted like animals, they keep ruining 1000s of lives in the hunt for a bump in profits.
While the analysis suggests ChatGPT — one of the most widely used text-based forms of generative AI — is rapidly changing the mix of occupations on offer to tech workers, it is not shifting the composition of jobs throughout the entire US economy at a much swifter pace than the arrival of computers and the internet.
The wording vs the actual graphs is suspicious.
Is it
“AI is not killing jobs”
or
“AI is not killing jobs much faster than [things that have definitely killed jobs]”
Yeah cmon, why should we care about floods, they’re not killing people faster than avalanches, or earthquakes.
Rich assholes firing people to make the leftovers work twice as hard to “incorporate AI” into their workflow is though.
The job losses are fucking REAL, and everyone expects you to use this tedious bullshit now.
It’s just driving down working conditions and wages
Because they’re a lot less capable than these companies are telling us they are.
Don’t get me wrong, you can frequently get some excellent results with them… but you can also get some really shit ones.
So not only does the bulk of this work require someone to do all the prompts, they also need to thoroughly check the work afterwards, meaning you’re not really gaining much, if anything at all.
Sooner or later, the venture capital propping up AI will realise that these enormous savings from laying people off en-masse isn’t going to materialise, and they’ll want their money back. The market correction will be huge.
the only value pumping the AI bubble’ current prize is substituing labour en masse… the bubble is about to pop
Not AI just capitalism
Seem to be ‘snucked in’ here while Trump is holding back latest job-numbers from the public, and besides: I’m sure US corps, or Oligarchy wouldn’t fund/fiddle their numbers, and conclude, in a way that helped them financially in a crashing economy. We must trust them ! We must …
Well yes
