No. It was used as an excuse for 50,000 layoffs.

we don’t have companies getting new employees, since there’s a crazy orange felon at the helm of the united states, who changes rules at the whim, which means noone can plan ahead anymore.

No corporate management was behind 50,000 layoffs. Perhaps AI gave management the confidence to go with a smaller staff, but AI by itself didn’t do anything.

We had over 1,000,000 layoffs in 2025

Look at HPi. Laid off 6k employees using AI as the excuse to appear cutting edge instead of struggling with their bottom line.

AI was the EXCUSE for 50k layoffs. Not the cause.

Even if this data is legit, 50k as a number is negligible.

Nobody has embraced AI like they predicted we would. It has not made life easier or better by any measure. In fact, everyone seems to be more annoyed by it than anything. It is a complete failure on all levels.

AI was the PR shield for over 50,000 layoffs. FTFY.

AI sounds a lot better than “our business is faltering in a weaker economy” or “we’re offshoring”.
Companies are not audited for honesty in how they explain layoffs to the public.

A lot more of the layoffs were about offshoring jobs than ai. Ai can do a few things by itself, but needs supervision and so far the productivity benefits are promoting but limited

NO IT WASN’T. AI does not lay people off, executives do.

It will be ok that 50000 people get universal health and payment every month. So they can be creative taking painting classes or singing they don’t need to work.. robots and AI replace them…
Oh shit it’s not going to be like that, it’s commercial of people that pushing Ai shit for collecting investments.

It’s cool, they opened a bunch of farm jobs up. Who’s excited for the fields.

AI was not behind the layoffs. Companies using AI as an excuse are.
thumb_emoji_survivor on
But according to that quote everyone loves to say, that’s actually 50,000 people who use AI taking jobs from 50,000 who don’t, right?
Right?

Just in time for Trump to destroy the manufacturing boom Biden started, deport all the farm workers, and kill US exports.

And here’s a known challenge with ai (reduced employment) and no one is being proactive to solve it. Do we wait uniltil we have 15% unemployment to act?

What’s real AI going to be called when it can actually think?
How many companies lost customers due to ‘AI’ pissing them off with their chatbot powered PoS customer service?

Title fixed with the use of generative AI.

There is going to be a wave of people who are shocked at the numbers every time they come out. Somehow unable to grasp reality.

In practice I’m not seeing any proposed use cases actually working out that could justify sacking staff.
Some director or whatever proposes using AI to make a process more efficient but the whole thing fizzles out in discovery when it’s realised the proposal doesn’t actually improve productivity and just introduces loads of errors.

Maybe it’s different in other companies.
