Interesting article on the whole phenomonon of AI replacing human workers:

I loved the marketing spin from an AI company that said:
She outworks everyone. And she’ll never ask for a raise
What this really means:
We don't have to ask for a raise. We'll just wait 'till you're dependent on our product and then jack up the price because you won't be able to do anything about it at that point.
If it weren't for all the people who are going to lose thir jobs over this nonsense, it'd be amusing to watch.

Facebook et al are *saying* they're replaing people with AI, but what's really happening is they're scrambling, saying "Oh shit! We spent all this money on AI but we need to make our quarter. We're absolutely screwed. I guess we can lay off 30% of our staff..."
And Wall Street is all like "they are clearly very smart."
