99% of "AI" talk in the public is for the sole purpose of making wall street happy to boost stock price and/or pump private valuations of AI startups. The reality on the ground is very different. CEOs are bragging about replacing senior software engineers with AI meanwhile their recruiters and hiring managers are desperately advertising $300-500K/yr jobs for these same engineers while still not being able to hire enough of them because of high demand.



I honestly doubt that there is any overlap between the "$300-500K/yr" jobs and the jobs being replaced by AI.


also at least some of the businesses that were doing this are now being run into the ground, like Klarna.
