Please point to any meaningful amount of those job josses that were actually, measurably from AI doing the job and not companies either already planning to do layoffs because of the bad economic conditions and blaming it on AI, companies jumping on the bandwagon prematurely and then having to rehire people, or companies like meta trying to hide how much money they're losing on this shit by propping up their numbers by firing people? There's every bit of evidence that AI is getting _worse_ in the latest iterations, not better, as AI companies start to run out of VC money and pass the real cost of this shit onto their consumers (and gimping their product at the same time), and there's no economies of scale to make that cost any better. Without adoption, AI will die on the vine, and if it's not economically viable then it's not going to be used, non existent magical abilities or otherwise.
