Do you get mad at your computer for replacing clerical workers? What does this nonsense comment have to do with the issue at hand?

Those were told "find another job" and in fact they were able to find different jobs.

AI companies are gleefully bragging and "making humans obsolete", "permanent underclass" and 40% unemployment rates they plan to create.

They pushed to replace people years BEFORE their technology even can produce that work.

So, you know, it is not the same. But also in fact, clerks did disliked when occasionally arrogant claimed to replace them while pushing unfinished software that dont quite work yet.
