Have we finally stopped pretending the layoffs are being caused by AI replacing workers?

    If you had a customer service phone center job that was replaced with an AI chatbot, you certainly did lose your job to AI.

    Not exactly. I'm sure there are specific cases where someone lost their job because AI does it better, but in most cases they lost their job because we're in a recession and the company needed to use chatbots to cut costs.
