> Well, their framing isn't actually a lie. AI can replace people doing actual jobs. It can't for a lot of jobs, but it can reduce the number of people in a team for sure. A writer for a magazine could theoretically do the work of two writers now, and an editor may no longer be hired. After all, there are two separate phenomena that must be considered: if AI literally replaces a job, and if it manages to prevent the hiring of someone else. In the short term, the latter is just making something more efficient, but in the long run, if that effect reduces new job openings at a faster rate than "employable people" that we "produce", then it also means trouble.
