You forgot the part where they’re also painfully understaffed. Automating things is not going to fix the issue.
I didn't forget that part. The article indicates that they have job openings that they are simply not getting applicants for. Throwing more money at staffing won't fix that, you can't magically spawn qualified people out of nothing.
I seem to be the only person in this thread who's actually reading and responding to the article, and every response I give instantly gets hit with downvotes. Do people simply want to be angry about AI, and so anything that might interfere with the purity of that anger is unwelcome? Maybe we should just have a daily thread with a title of simply "How about that AI, huh?" That people can post angry comments in without fear of meaningful interruption.
The one thing you forgot is that you are on Lemme. So of course everybody wants to be upset about AI. That's like par for the course.
Oh, I'm not forgetting I'm on Lemmy, I know I'm in a strongly anti-AI bubble here. I just think it's important for bubbles to be challenged, and this particular article seemed to be drawing a particularly strong knee-jerk reaction. I seem to have got a few people to actually read it, at least.
At the end of the day it's not like upvotes or downvotes here matter. These AI systems will get implemented or not based on real-world considerations, not whether it's popular in some particular niche online. It's just nice to keep informed.
