AI IS THE CONVENIENT LIE FOR MASS LAYOFFS

Executives are tired of explaining why they are firing people. They found a new way to say it. They call it AI integration. It is just a way to blame a machine for their own greed.

The math is simple. Human beings cost benefits and salaries. Algorithms do not. The software is not a replacement for talent. It is a way to delete the payroll.

The depressing features of this shift are clear.

  • Using automation as a legal shield.
  • Reducing human agency to a line item.
  • Rebranding mass unemployment as progress.

There is no transformation happening here. There is only the removal of the unnecessary. We are being erased one script at a time.
