This is very true. The problem is that the pockets of the assholes pushing AI are a *lot* deeper than the pockets of the IT workers that companies are determinedly attempting to replace with AI.
Several years of this shit will do no more than disappoint the oligarchs, but it will *ruin* careers and even lives of millions of workers who can't just wait out a major loss of income "for a few years" while this plays out.

@jimsalter@fosstodon.org This industry is insane. I count myself very lucky to be working for a sane, humane employer, and yet still I will be doing the touchdown dance for at LEAST a solid month in 8 years when I can retire.
