One of our MDs said this new AI tool we have is doing the equivalent of three junior employees. People laughed, but some looked worried. How worried are you about getting replaced?

It's already happening. In 2025 there has been more than 1.2 million layoffs. Companies have been touting efficiencies due to AI. Where once there was a need for 20 people, now only eight are needed because of the efficiencies that AI has brought. Being able to do more with less.

Positions may not be eliminated, but the amounts that are open are definitely substantially less.

There are predictions, which you can Google yourself, that 2026 is going to be worse than 2025. And 2025 is already the third worst year for layoffs since 2008.

Move outside of the US to a developing economy. I live in Europe where nobody has money for AI. We aren’t scared because our companies can’t afford it.

I apologize for assuming you were selling a narrative, I'm a gatekeeper for a lot of the hype and while I am thrilled when I find something worth hyping, the level of bullshit has left me reflexively combatant against overhyping.

Id image marketing was hit hard, do you find the tools actually augment equivalent to 4-5 juniors?

AI in the workplace is slavery fetishism. Workers you don't have to pay, available at your every whim, that have no feelings, that you can treat however you want and abuse for your own purposes at any time. Sounds like a slavery fetish to me

I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.
