There’s a difference between your job being replaced by AI and your employer being disrupted by AI. Stack Overflow might have fewer employees, while the AI companies expand. That’s not a good explanation for a job market bust.

Technically yes

But the difference is not really meaningful to the people who are out of work, is it?


It’s relevant to a discussion about whether AI is causing unemployment in the tech industry. Basically anything can cause unemployment if the bar is that some company somewhere is affected in a way that leads them to have to lay someone off.
