Thread regarding Elevance Health (Anthem) layoffs

AI is going to require far less employees

We are training it to do our jobs. At first it will help us be more efficient. Then we will be helping it to be more efficient.

Then we go bye bye.

AI at Elevance has been oversold as a solution. Senior leaders take credit for functional processes along with their minions, but in reality there are a ton of manual touches, fixes and workarounds by the working class folks who have subject matter knowledge. They keep riffing the workers before they obtain the knowledge and try to turn on AI. But AI can’t compute because the fake “functional” processes that the Execs lie about don’t really exist. They should own their kluges and get to functioning documented processes first before attempting AI but they likely already said things were working and complete to get their big bonuses. Letters and benefit configuration are two examples where they wiped the team and lost the knowledge and are still paying the price, I think accums could be another. As always business will try to blame IT for not implementing requirements they never told them about. I think it would be more appropriate to say they have RIffed people for a promise of AI or a dream of AI, but the jury is still out. Peak will be very interesting!

The Accums Dept was gutted today. 27 people were laid off due to automation. I’m curious to know what management will do. Without as many people to micro-manage, I wonder how long will it take for someone to decide they don’t need them either.

Once AI takes over completely only the top 1% can pucrchase products.

@an was referring to @a7 comment regarding AI = Another Indian. That was not helpful.

@ah it’s unlikely that op was being racist just pointing out where the jobs are moving. There are also a ton going to 3rd parties so it’s not artificial intelligence replacing anyone yet.

Interesting how comments in another post that teeter on 'political' grumblings get deleted but racist views like AI = Another Indian seem to be just dandy to leave on here.

AI in it current state is nothing more than a giant scam. It's going to crater. It can't even tell you how to accurately make a pancake, there's no way it's going to replace anyone.

Now that I'm working for Skynet, AI is going to do more than just take your jobs.

Yes. It's been obvious from the start, why do you think they're pushing us to use it?
