I agree with you, it’s mostly hype. But it doesn’t really matter whether it’s true or not because the vibes are clearly bad. These execs keep “warning” us about that AI will take all the jobs then keep pouring more money into AI, the press credulously reports it, and people are obviously worried. Most people aren’t digging through economic data themselves to figure out these execs are full of shit.

The jobs that the hype is referring to. Any lack of veracity is moot to whether or not it's convincing, else there would be no reason for it.
