I'm pretty sure the number of people that have lost their jobs over this shitty text generator has surpassed a million.

But that has nothing to do with ChatGPT. It’s what some people were blaming on all of the layoffs when it came out. That would have happened regardless. The news just loves a clickable headline.

Most of these companies will start rehiring again. They just did it to trim the fat, cut the high earners, and get people back in at a lower rate because they’re desperate for work.

Tale as old as time.

We get it you trust big tech and like sucking corporate dicks

That is not at all what I said, and you clearly didn’t read my comment. I’m not defending them. I’m saying it’s not the fault of AI. They were gonna fire them anyway to lower costs, and get cheaper workers. (A bad thing)

Apologize, you fucking cunt.

Oh I'm aware, but yk calling some a "fucking cunt" isn't the greatest way to get an apology, in other news sry for my initial response that was rude i was sleep deprived and my judgement wasn't at its best

Apology accepted.
