Gregory's Server@Infrogmation @trochee This explanation treats “replacing skilled tech workers with AI” as something that is actually possible with some effort
Which makes me wonder what else it gets wrong

 I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt to the symmetry of all the other arguments. Making AI "work" isn't possible because the current crop of AI tech actually isn't ever going to functionally replace skilled programming labor. But this is beyond the horizon of the management consultants who imagine that it _might_ be "good enough"  @trochee @fivetonsflax @Infrogmation Friendly amendment, it says they *desperately want to* bc by and large, bosses HATE labour with a white-hot gut-level rage that is hard to believe even when you see it directly (I have; I was a union negotiator for a bit). They will jump at any chance, not matter how hair-brained, to eliminate workers. It's become pathological, but it started as ideological. They *believe* workers merely reduce profits rather than *producing* wealth, which is what we do. @fivetonsflax @Infrogmation @trochee Management has been using underpaid offshore runbook-readers instead of onshore support for years. And it works for a while. |

It says that the managers **think they can** get away with replacing workers with AI but they haven't found a way to do it yet
