It will. So has just about every other major technical development ever. Eventually those lost jobs should be replaced by even more jobs made possible by the new technology, but in the meantime it will suck.
Thats how you know its not just a gimmick. How many jobs did blockchain replace? Just about zero. How many jobs did computers or the Internet or the mechanical loom or the freaking steam engine replace? Tons.

except genAI has proven no purpose. this is like saying “look at how many jobs bankers replaced! we just used to eat for free, now we have to work our entire lives for it or starve!”

Im pretty sure most of us already have to work our whole lives or starve.

great, now enjoy that 10 times worse when genAI is used to make skeleton crews an even bigger issue and increase worker exploitation

Generative AI has spawned an awful amount of AI slop and companies are forcing incomplete products on users. But don’t judge the technology by shitty implementations. There are loads of use cases where when used correctly, generative AI brings value. For example, in document discovery in legal proceedings.
