Economists and industry executives say the hiring slowdown is also tied to post-pandemic overstaffing, aggressive cost-cutting, high interest rates and widespread hiring freezes.

Vs

a tiktok video about overhyped topic

News editors: Let's go ahead and publish another "news" article about a TikTok video on an overhyped topic!

They're just trying to make AI sound successful, just like the overlords want them to.

I am more inclined to think they just want ragebait articles and AI is a current easy target

Yeah, these types of stories are advertisements directed at the landlord class. "Look, AI means fewer icky employees to have to put up with! At last, business without labor!"

Yeah this article is functionally an ad for coderabbit.

Almost all companies deploying generative AI don't see their revenue change significantly. AI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.

AI is not the money maker people claimed it was going to be.

When people make claims about what "AI" is going to do in the future they're talking about Artificial General Intelligence - not Large Language Models.

While I agree with you, its that very misunderstanding that bosses and owners have, and they'll fire regular folks and replace with ai. They may suffer lower quality and even catastrophic failures but it will take time for them to realise and rehire people. All those regular folks will be out of work during that time.

The “journalist” credited’s bio literally says he is addicted to twitter as some kind of base of honor.
