> What most people either didn't notice or understand is that the U.S. was entering a recession and would have been in one if it hadn't been AI

Is it maybe more accurate to say that the US is in a recession, outside of the industries that are fueling AI?

Life's pretty recession-y for everyone else imo

That's a pretty damning statement - this implies companies don't see a return on AI at best, and it's actively destroying their businesses at worst, so there's not only job loss, but businesses themselves are not becoming more efficient.
