Why are other outlets quoting the CEO as having said that the layoffs have "nothing to do with AI"? Is TC distinguishing between using AI versus building AI products?

> "None of it had to do with AI," Goodarzi told CNBC's Jim Cramer on "Mad Money." "Everything was about how do we become more effective."

Seriously, the article says exactly the opposite.

[bloppe]

The article was written by AI

How do you know?

There's a lazy habit from some folks to say something they either disagree with or don't understand was "written by AI" without backing up that statement.

"You're absolutely right to question that.

Let me restate that correctly. Just facts. No fluff."

[true_religion]

I don’t think it’s AI. AI would at least keep the article body consistent with the title even if it had to bend over backward and hallucinate new facts.

That would maybe be true, if AI wrote both the title and the body of the article.

In human practice, some hack usually writes the body, but the editor decides the title. And that can happen after the article is written or before.

I don't think they would change that workflow, even if the writer, or both writer and editor, were replaced with a AI.

So yours was a good observation, but it's rather weak evidence.

It's becoming the modern adult equivalent of the old kids saying:

" I know you are but what AmI ? "

Thank you for saying this, I keep arguing the same. "This is llm" has become lazy for "I dont like this so I will pretend its llm"

[Citizen_Lame]

That's because most of the LLM output is associated with low effort spam, and they are not wrong. You keep fighting for LLM rights, lol.

[grep_name]

^ this comment was written by an llm.

See the problem?

[glimshe]

I'll start downvoting all posts that are about criticizing something solely because it was "made by AI". Humans using AI can make great things.

If the article is bad, just say "this is a bad article without coherent arguments" or something like that.

They're laying people off to focus more on lobbying.
