But no mention in that article about the various instances ( here, here, here, here, etc ) of companies quietly having to hire back staff they've laid off because AI (or the people that were left at the companies who are using AI + AI consultants) is often doing such a bad job at replacing them.
Although this quote from this post's article is telling:
Some of these companies that are hiring staff in the face of AI integration problems are likely using it as a smokescreen for getting rid of established employees so they can replace them with younger, cheaper alternatives.
Either was, it's a mess out there right now.
I was the only one cut from my team of about 10 for AI. I had been there the longest (10 years). It's all very transparent, but there's nothing we can do against it.
