    No one is firing workers for AI. They’re correcting the size of their workforce after decades of overhiring and using AI as an excuse — to make it look like a good, forward-looking business decision, instead of showing that it’s fixing a mistake that went on for so long.

      Nah I’m sorry you’re dead wrong. My last job we straight up got rid of 95% of our HR department and all of our interns and were replaced with ChatGPT Enterprise licenses. Then they laid off the graphic design department and left just the head of the department and 2 staff. Then I was laid off alongside over half of the IT department.

        If your company did indeed lay off 95% of HR and replaced it with ChatGPT you need to find another job somewhere like now. They are about two lawsuits from not existing.

          Had you read all the words in my comment, you’d see I’m no longer at that job.

        I understand what you were told, but none of those functions are being replaced by AI, they functionally cannot be.

          Lmao so you know better than what I saw my company actually do? You’re absolutely out to lunch. I wasn’t told any of this. I watched it happen. Log off and delete your account 🤡.
