> which makes everyone more efficient and productive
There is something bizarre about an economic system that pursues productivity for the sake of productivity even as it lays off the actual participants in the economic system
An echo of another commenter who said that its amazing that AI is now writing comments on the internet
Which is great, but it actively makes the internet a worse place for everyone and eventually causes people to simply stop using your site
Somewhat similar to AI making companies more productive - you can produce more than ever, but because you’re more productive, you don’t hire enough and ultimately there aren’t enough people to consume what you produce

Not only does it lay off many of them, but it expects the rest to work longer hours with fewer raises in many cases.
