A report by Beautiful.ai, which makes AI-powered presentation software, surveyed over 3,000 managers

No need to even read the article. It's nonsense marketing.

The key part is that managers believe this, and they will absolutely do layoffs. Eventually they will end up being forced to rehire some people, but the damage will already be done by then.

Also, companies will often just follow the path of enshittification where they just provide degraded services to their customers.

What they left out is that those 3,000 managers were actually just the AI replacements for human managers

Genuinely, middle management is probably the best and easiest part of the workforce to automate with AI. Just ignore all inputs from workers and implement the c-suite demands in the dumbest way possible.

Who's going to buy your products when most of your customer base are now unemployed, because you and all the shitty capitalists around you have replaced theIr workforce with AI?

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
