A comment on Panic Among the Streamers.

The article claims Netflix is hiring AI positions to "replace creative professionals":

> It looks like they’re hellbent on replacing creative professionals with bots, and the faster the better.

The linked AI job listing doesn't say that at all.

You can find the listing here: https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/278437235 It says:

> Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence is powering innovation, from personalization for members, to optimizing our payment processing and other revenue-focused initiatives.

The author has either ignored the facts or imposed their own ideas on to the situation. This take breaks down as soon as you check any of the facts.

"other revenue-focused initiatives" could mean literally anything.

I'd say the author is being necessarily and reasonably cynical given what we've seen in just the past year (for example, the SAG and WGA aren't striking for nothing).

The article they link to about the job says as much so I'd say the author is very much trying to drive a narrative to push an agenda even if one doesn't exist.
