    Unexpected. It’s probably down to who has investor money to spend on new hires, TBH.

    If it lasts that will be WTF, because AI that does nothing should actually just leave hiring about where it is, and AI that does something should lead to layoffs.

      It says in the article that they don’t see any productivity gains, yet keep pushing ai. Weird but ok.

      Also funny how this gets voted down because it highlights a positive thing with ai. People keep confusing the “disagree” and “downvote” buttons.

        That’s the author’s opinion on what this means, anyway. I’ll have to try and actually read the study.

        Of course, hiring depends on a whole lot more than AI productivity.

        I downvoted you because the random blogpost you linked doesn’t agree at all with the article it uses as a source.
