I don't recall reading any official statements, ever, that said layoffs were due to AI replacing engineers. Do you have examples? I think that line gets thrown in by reporters that don't know what they're talking about, or HN/LinkedIn users that haven't actually read the statement. I could easily be wrong; I can't say I've thoroughly perused every layoff statement from big tech, but I frankly don't even see how it would be positive PR that you're replacing workers with machines, much less worth outright lying about.
