    Yesss… we could hire more nurses with the time and money savings of A.I., but instead let’s just fire them and make more money. Doesn’t this kind of prove that the nursing shortage is manufactured? They had the option here to help improve the situation but deliberately chose profits every time

      We need to keep people employed, firing all these people that do “back end” work is still taking jobs away. How far can it go?

        I don’t get your point. There was like 8 things in my comment, which ones were not mutually exclusive?

            Ok, so one question equals two things being mutually exclusive? This has to be the laziest attempt to start an argument I’ve seen on Lemmy so far

              You’ve got to be a troll…. This is completely obvious, but in the rare case you’re really not trolling:

              Thing 1:

              we could hire more nurses with the time and money savings of A.I.

              Thing 2:

              instead let’s just fire them and make more money.

              Question:

              Doesn’t this kind of prove that the nursing shortage is manufactured?

              Answer: (no), those two things are not mutually exclusive.

                It’s really not obvious, and I still don’t fully understand what you’re actually trying to say. My comment was pointing out that it’s unlikely they’ll use those freed resources to hire more nurses, in response to other comments pointing out the nursing crisis. I’m guessing you disagree with me, and are expressing it in a roundabout way.

                Of course everyone who disagrees with you is automatically a troll.

                  That’s a bit of a you problem.

                  But: a nursing shortage is when there are not enough nurses for the number of sick and needy patients. In other words, hospitals and care facilities throughout the US can’t find enough nursing staff to fill out the positions that they need given the amount of patients that they have, i.e. a nursing shortage.

                  Saving money with AI and being able to hire more nurses but taking the stupid decision to fire them, doesn’t mean the nursing shortage is manufactured, like you posed. The nursing shortage is still, in fact, very real and a problem of an aging population and not enough people getting into nursing.

                  Execs being greedy does not prove the shortage isn’t there.

                  And maybe you will find that sealioning and calling people lazy earns you the title of troll more often. So maybe if you don’t want that try to avoid such behaviour.
