Damn, I always think news at 11:00, but I don’t think I’ve ever really watched news at 11:00

Schrodinger’s AI: It is both useless shit that can only generate “slop” while at the same time being so effective, it is the reason behind 50,000 layoffs/going to take everyone’s jobs.

Those two things aren’t being claimed by the same people.
There are people with functioning brains, who are aware that AI is shit at programming, and there are managers who have been sold a sales pitch and believe that they can replace half of their software engineers.
AI doesn’t actually need to be effective to cost a bunch of jobs, it just needs to have good salespeople. Those jobs will come back when the businesses which decided to rely on AI discover the hole they’ve dug for themselves. That might not be quick though, because there’s no rule saying that major businesses will have competent leaders with good foresight.
