There are many fields that are kind of forcing workers to use AI. Then their logic is: well, if you use AI, then I’ll either cut your wages or hire cheaper workers.

That being said, do you really (and by “you” I mean all the lurkers as well) think this whole thing will backfire in the long run? I only see companies using more and more AI and being fine with laying off people and rehiring people who are 25% cheaper.

I am pro-union, but I won’t deny that’s utopic for now.

Unionizing people on your country? Feasible. But what then? Because with this AI race what they actually are doing is “ok, now I have a ‘bot’ that does a lot of your work, so I’m offering you half of your hourly rate. Oh, you don’t accept it? Ok, let’s substitute our whole mainland team for a remote one with people from LATAM/India/China for 1/3 of the hourly rate.”

This shit ain’t gonna end well in the long run.
