I really don’t think people understand what is coming over the next 18 months, especially if you’re working in corporate America. We are starting to see what they are calling, The Great Restructuring. It is consolidation of humans within an organization as they blend with technology. It basically means that companies are looking to get rid of irrelevant job titles and automate or replace you with AI. Corporate America will significantly shrink over the next couple of years, more than what you’re reading about in today’s news. We are all seeing it, they are trying to get as much done as they can with the least amount of people possible. If you’re working for a big corporation, you have been warned.

Corporations use AI as an excuse to restructure and get rid of people. If you use any of the AIs, they aren't as fantastic as they are portrayed.

AI is unique as outsourcing customer facing jobs to India means they can use AI in realtime to convert Indian accents to American accent.
This is another evolution in the overall chain of events that has occurred since the industrial age. Fast forwarding to the technology age, we’ve been changing structure, growing and shrinking for the past 30 years. The promise of the internet, cloud, IoT, etc etc and now AI.
This isn’t a new phenomenon. Just like with everything else organizations latch on to what’s in the technology trigger stage to try and stay relevant. They’ll realize they over rotated and correct.
In the meantime, no doubt, they’ll cause havoc. Dell though in this case is showing its true colors. What Dell is doing isn’t about AI.
It’s about putting money into Mikes pocket before he retires.
AI AI AI... ye ask anything and chance of getting BS answer like from sloppy employee is very high. So now instead of asking him to fix himself you talk to machine which randomly throws at you more bad responses if you ask anything complicated.
