This is easily, demonstrably false. The Washington Post ran an article over 2 years ago of specific, documented instances where people lost their jobs due to ChatGPT: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/02/ai-taki...

As per your article:

“But Mollick said it’s too early to gauge how disruptive AI will be to the workforce. ”

I’d like a follow up article when I’m guessing a good chunk of these writers were hired back when their managers realized ChatGPT can’t help replace real creative writing output. It can only create more dead internet spaces that don’t make money long term.

There will always be bad managers making shitty decisions and journalists and CEO's eager to confirm a narrative, AI or no-AI

When a manager prefers AI over a proven-performing employee, I would expect a lot if times it is becuse the AI is more intelligent than the manager, not the employee.

Looking at things in the micro scale and expecting it to translate directly into a macro scale is stupidity.

Maybe you should say that directly to the grandparent comment who did that.
