Tons of people are getting fired because the owners think AI can replace them. Doesn't mean the AI can do the work properly, but they are getting fired anyway.
I know a person that works at an AI startup and they convinced a company to replace their HR department with AI a while back. Funnily enough, that startup's "AI" is largely "Actually Indians." Their service is an agent that writes its own "tools" to solve problems/complete tasks, but the tools often don't work, so they have a large team of devs in India rewrite them or do the tasks.
I heard Agentic is a codework for Humans actually, and Indians/south america, eastern europeans are the ones actually controlling the AI systems.
