    Folks really didn’t understand how AI will work. It’s not going to be some big we’re dropping 1000 people.

    It’s going to reduce demand over time.

      But that’s not how corporations view it because the people making the decision aren’t tec people, but beancounters.

      Some slick but ignorant C-suite gets the bright idea that AI is The Way and makes the call to lay off a bunch of people.

      I BET that is what Hasbro is thinking for DnD, and I am absolutely certain some of their recent content is AI, and that’s why they canned most of the real people involved.

        You’ve just said all corporations view it this way. Think about what you said. You have taken articles from a few businesses and applied that across the board.

          Fuck you and your sanctimonious assumptions, I know what I wrote.

          You have taken articles from a few businesses and applied that across the board.

          No, I was there last year in august when they were CAUGHT using AI art in books, and more recently in their online ads.

          If I could write to you like I want, I would get banned, but you will NEVER be called out for the slander you so love to engage in.

      It will start with going from 5 writers to 3, or going from 10 animators to 6.

      Then 10 years from now as it gets more advanced we will be down to maybe 1 writer and 2 animators.

        going from 10 animators to 6

        It’s still crazy to me that like half of Across the Spider-Verse was AI generated

      I’ve heard it as “No one is losing their job to AI, but they will lose their jobs to someone who is using AI.”

          I mean that’s already happening at some big companies now.

          Will it last? My guess is no, but they’ll enjoy saving the money that they would pay human beings in the mean time.

          My hope is just that they’ll suffer losses due to a drop in product quality and start struggling, but let’s face it, the big tech companies are almost never the ones’ that are actually hurt by their decisions.

        Case in point: I’m using ChatGPT to help me write cover letters. I make sure to proofread them and sometimes it hallucinates my expertise, but it makes it a lot faster.

        Think of AI like computers and spreadsheet software in the early 80s. I bet a lot of accountants were pretty freaked out about what this new technology was going to mean for their jobs.

        Did technology replace those accountants? No, but companies probably didn’t need as many accountants as they did before. AI will likely reduce the number of programmers that a company needs, but it won’t eliminate them

      And in that regard it’s no different than any other productivity tool or automation, I have seen software being bought that immediately Eliminated 80 odd jobs.
