Stock market vs AI vs Layoffs

For the past several years, companies have used AI as an excuse to lay off a massive number of employees. There have been layoffs everywhere, across every sector, including hospitals.

Is AI really an equally effective replacement for humans? If you interview people who survived a layoff, they will tell you that they are being worked to the bone after their teams were reduced. They are being overworked but have nowhere to go, because most jobs are just ghost jobs.

But let’s look at the stock market: this is the strongest market run the world has ever experienced. AI is great. Everyone is getting rich. But in reality, the majority of people have been suffering in silence.

Is AI really good for the average person?
