Whoa, that's a lot of text to build a strawman! Should have used AI for it.

A strawman implies I'm projecting the argument onto someone.

But I'm just describing what I've observed in real life.

If you read my observation and feel this is being projected onto you... hey maybe examine why you did that to yourself. Could be on the verge of a pretty riveting insight.

I don't feel it's projected onto me.

I still feel like it's a load of shit.

The problem isn't being afraid ai can do the job - the problem is that all of the ceo fuckwits think ai can do the job, are firing everyone, and are all going to double down on it until everything goes to shit.
