    It just has to be good enough.

    Given that “good enough” is a very slippery definition, let’s say that’s true.

    AI just isn’t good enough. And it doesn’t look like it’s going to be anytime soon.

    Frankly, I don’t think these tech behemoths laying off everyone are planning on AI replacing them at all. I think they’re outsourcing all those jobs to the lowest priced tech-capable countries they can find. They say “AI” but - even they know that’s not going to happen for a number of years at best.

      Agreed. It is a scam and a bubble and an excuse to do whatever they really wanted to do in the first place. However they are selling it with the arguments I presented and I’m sure some people believe them.
