Blaming AI makes AI sound like a legitimate technology. Silicon Valley had a good run, they took all the proven analog tools of society and digitized them, but once all that was done, there has been no real innovation in software other than enshittification with ads and subscriptions, which people are avoiding. There was a boom during lockdown but people are getting away from the garbage on social media..Facebook, X, ticktok, insta etc. is for losers. Typically all the same people.
In the long run AI will have as much impact on work as Google's original search engine, but that's it.
CBA got caught out, bunch of layoffs announced, stock price up, they say "because ai", turned out they just offshored the jobs to India.
