      It also got rid of a metric shit ton of them as well. Like all other economic automation it starts with manual labor being replaced by technical repair and deployment personnel. Then eventually that all becomes automated too.

      In the next 50 years you’ll see a whole IT field develop around AI, then slowly it’ll phase out low level IT workers and developers until the only people that are left are QA checking on the AI services to ensure functionality.

        Yea sure some companies may lower head count in certain areas. The internet era certainly had the same effect. The overall impact had a net positive on jobs however.
