What people need to wrap their heads around is almost all of these cases are/were companies that were gonna lay people off anyways.
They just used “cuz AI” as a PR spin to avoid making investors panic.
“We laid off 25% of our workers cuz we are failing” makes your stocks tank.
“We replaced 25% of our workforce with AI” makes stocks go up.
And they can just lie about it. They probably arent even fuckin using AI… or they are half assing it to make it look like they are using AI to investors.
The reality is, the company is just shitting the bed and upper management is doing everything they can to stop the stocks ftom ranking for just 6 more months so they can sell out first before the company goes bottom up.
Companies actually using AI intelligently arent “replacing” anyone with AI.

But saying
Usually makes the stock go up.
“I’m trying like crazy to distance myself from the actual ramifications of ai because it’s devastating for my arguments for ai.”
