This seems like bullshit to me. The UK sector I work in, 68,000 jobs were lost due to back in 2023. They all quoted the same rubbish as “simplifying operations using AI”.
My company has admitted this year they got it wrong and have backtracked.
Any excuse to fire the poor performers without perceptions of a normal layoff
In addition to the results pointed out by studies like those posted by @ekZepp@lemmy.world I feel it’s not a simple question of ‘which jobs can now be done by AI/LLMs’.
The ramifications of the wider ecosystem are more complex. For example, as this article illustrates, the actual search for a job is just horrible under this new paradigm. With the combination of copious machine generated job offers, machine generated job applications and machine driven applicant screenings, everything melts down into lowest common denominator stat-hiring process sludge, especially in combination with the more ‘platform’ driven hiring patterns of many sectors.
