AI isn't replacing many jobs yet. But it is causing customers to hold off on certain purchases, like dev services, due to uncertainty. And the shills are amplifying the effect. I'm seeing layoffs caused by this.
- causal 1y agoYeah I can only think of 3 ways AI is causing unemployment- 1) Hype, as you said, leading to delayed hiring. 2) Offshore workers using AI becoming more competitive. 3) Reallocation of capital to AI projects, which skews demand towards data scientists at the expense of, say, front-end devs (who ironically might have provided better return). None of these are actually reducing the amount of human workers needed, but the social and economic impact is real.
