AI hasn't taken anyone's job.
The Epstein class use AI as an excuse to fire thousands and artificially lower wages to keep the plebs in check for the next few decades.
I've personally seen multiple departments eliminated because they would rather send the jobs to Indian sub contractors backed by AI.
Right so it was outsourced to Indians. Thats old news.
It wouldn't have been without AI. They believe telling them to use AI is cheaper.
