agreed with that take it is not direct replacement, at present, but rather job market shrinkage in sectors where AI can get more work done

[_aavaa_]

What is a job market shrinkage but a replacement of unfilled/unposted position? The distinction between (obviating the need to hire someone because the AI does the work) and (firing someone and having the AI do the work) is quickly becoming a distinction without a difference, especially if you're looking for a job.

This feels very much like a distinction without a difference to me.

you are prob right, it is still job replacement, the underlying mechanism is secondary/irrelevant..
