We're seeing some studies come out that, yeah, people think they're more productive than they actually are when they're using.

AI a bunch.

Some companies are coming out with metrics that you have to reach if you're an employee, like, oh, you have to use AI this much or else you're going to be ranked lower on success or whatever.

So I think that that's one thing to note.

And then I think another interesting thing is that a lot of times when a lot of people get laid off and the company, like the high Fs at the company want to replace their jobs with AI,

The people who are left have to use AI tools to, you know, basically do the people who left jobs.

And then they're super overworked because they already have a whole job on their own.

And now they're having to take on other tasks and use AI to do these other people's jobs, which still requires time and work and thought.

And training probably because it's like, you know, I think it's just like you're kind of probably going to overwork all the people that are left because it's not like AI is just like doing its thing in the background on its own.

No, like someone has to be, it's like having an intern a lot of times.

Like someone has to be training them, telling them what to do, asking them in a different way.

So I think it's like, honestly, it's one of those things that we've seen happen a bunch of times in recent years.

decades where there will be a big firing or layoff trend and then a huge hiring trend because they laid off too many people.

And I feel like that's the exact same thing that's going to happen here.

All the people that are left are going to be too overworked and they're going to have to rehire other people.

And it's just an endless trend that we've seen a million times and will happen again now.

Yeah, I completely agree.

I mean, I think that companies did overhire during the pandemic and they're still kind of reckoning with that.

We've seen so many rounds of layoffs since.

So it's like I think some of that's already been taken care of.
