Microsoft argues that its AI automation will remove the boring bits of jobs instead of replacing jobs entirely.
Simple question: does the Microsoft HR department agree?
No. But expect to do more work for the same pay since things are slightly easier now with AI.
Our jobs have always been at risk from outsourcing.
Fortunately, they don’t (currently) appear to be good at it.
As long as there’s risk and liability, firable employees will be better.
Depends. Are you this guy?

You physically take the specs from the customer to the engineers? Well… No.
Meanwhile, I’m at my job trying to get an instance of a machine that can automatically SFTP somewhere as part of a script like it’s 1998 and I need a shell account from my dialup connection.
HR will transition to HAIR then finally AIR.
Short term yes; long term probably not. All the dipshit c-suites pushing the “AI” worker replacement initiatives are going to destroy their workforces and then realize that LLMs can’t actually reliably replace any of the workers they fired. And I love that for management.
They’re gonna realize the two jobs it can actually replace is HR and the C suite.
Lol AI cannot replace either of those jobs. “I’m sorry I can’t help with your time off request but here is a gluten free recipe for a pie that feeds 30 people.”
I’d unironically like that recipe, please

Steps:
Cut into 30 prices and serve

Incoming data stream! From a mom…oh shit Chat-GPT… run! It’s a single mom! Oh hold on! She found someone to love again! Nope, he was just using her for her beauty again.
