From the article: “ But in recent years Microsoft has laid off editors, some of whom were told they were being replaced by “automation,” what they understand to be AI.”
So, there, unambiguous and with a negative overall impact. What more do you want as a proof that not only is “AI” killing jobs, the replacement is measurably worse
My neighbour works for a large law firm that had decided to eliminate a number of junior positions because ChatGPT is significantly cheaper and "good enough" even if it makes numerous factual errors.
This is why AI is so hyped now. They all view it as the next bitcoin.
70% as good meaning catastrophically incorrect in 30% of the statements, most of the time? Needing careful reality check every single time?
…and anyway that’s not a real job, anyone can do it obviously if it’s so easy to automate
I’m sure they can just find another job, and besides they should have been working on getting out of that job given that they saw the writing on the wall. I mean that’s what I did, I was able to switch careers into coding and there’s no reason that everyone else on the planet couldn’t do that
So really it’s their fault and they should have planned for this
