    In the meantime, we can expect AI to be at the center of more layoff announcements —whether people believe the job cuts are solely the results of AI or not.

    If the AI bubble pops, you can bet the layoffs will be the result of AI, though not in the way people usually mean by this. Honestly, as much as I don’t want to see what it does to the world, I’m still curious what would/will happen.

    You simply cannot replace people with AI. The statement itself is nonsense. Even so-called “agentic” AI cannot replace an employee in all aspects of work. You would need AGI to approach that.

    Like the article mentions, it’s just an excuse to fire people.
