I doubt it really has much to do with AI. The economy is in the toilet right now due to tariffs and severe mismanagement. AI is being used as a scapegoat for layoffs and unemployment.

yea its a scapegoat, to justify the lay offs. right now its being pedaled to retail so they end up with holding the bag, which will be problematic once it becomes AI USELESS, jobs will be loss in that sector.

No, it's very much both things. AI is 100% taking jobs away from people. Wake up, everyone.
