Wait, you mean its possible all of the "layoffs are due to AI pivot" were either not at all due to AI or if there was some top down attempt to "force" AI to do a human job it didn't work? I hope the layoffs now moved to the upper management who conceived, implemented and approved this foolish move? Not a chance. When are we going to replace upper management with AI?
