> 1. Figma (in progress)

Hmmm… maybe. I think not. It really depends on your other claims below, with which I mostly disagree.

2. Most entry level jobs for current graduates in white collar fields. (See hiring rates for these positions)

Maybe a small amount. Entry level white collar jobs have a low hiring rate for other reasons, imho.

3. Thousands of layoffs (mostly attributed to AI use, while not 100%, the Anthropic's specific marketing push has a huge influence on this - unlike OAI and other labs)

What they say and what the actual reasons are not the same, imho. Correcting for over hiring is the actual main reason.

4. All low-code products/startups

Low-code and no-code products in the hands of someone who doesn’t have a developer’s mind and/or experience usually ends up as a mess, and quickly becomes an unusable mess.

I know of exactly two people who have done successfully used AI to make a low-code/no-code product. One is just highly motivated and wicked smart. The other did a minor in CS a long time ago (works in a different field). Everyone else shows me a pile of garbage and asks me how to fix it (answer: throw it away and start from scratch).

5. Web agencies who did small websites for local businesses

As with 4 above, the only site a local business can make for themselves is one that functions as a business card… at best. Usually it looks more like a business card that a kindergartner made. They simply don’t understand what makes a website good for their business, therefore they cannot direct AI to make it for them.

There’s a lot to criticize about AI, imho, but these aren’t on the list.

These seems to be healthy desctructions, if the market rejects them eventually for a better product

This is not destroying. This is success.
