It’s definitely taking some jobs. Not a huge amount yet, but it’s unfortunately still getting better at a pretty good clip.

I don’t think AI is taking jobs, I think dumbass execs use it as an excuse to fire people though.

Graphic artists, translators, and copywriters are losing jobs in droves. It’s expanding. I sell contact center software and it’s just kicking off in my industry, but it’s picking up.

Yeah, I can see it happening there, especially for graphic artists (however actual graphic design is much better than anything a model can currently spit out). Translation is surprising to me, because in my experience, LLMs are actually kind of bad at actual translation especially when sounding natural according to local dialect. So I might consider that one to be a case of dumb bosses that don’t know any better.
I’m a DevOps engineer and dumb bosses are absolutely firing in my industry. However, our products have suffered the consequences and they continue to get worse and less maintainable.

No its apart of the companies business strategy. These tech companies fire an unprecedented amount of employees (primarily from the mass hiring during 2020) make a post they fired these employees because of ai improvements, see their stock price rise ultimately inflating it and creating an economic bubble and rinse and repeat with the next wave of potential hires who are sucking their employers dick a little to hard.
It’s unethical, and it violates any and all job security and I don’t want to be apart of that toxic workspace. Its ironic im saying this because a few years ago if I got a job at Google I would say “fuck yea mother fucker count me in” and now I just don’t want to work for them: there are far better companies doing interesting and valuable work to benefit society.
