#3How many of these jobs will stay gone? I feel like I've seen this over and over where a new advancement causes job loss then management realizes it wasn't all it was cracked up to be and need to hire again.

#4It's not replacing jobs. It's deferring their creation until the executives finally realize they fucked up and you can't replace a human with a glorified search engine that spews complete bullshit 30 percent of the time.

#8AI isn't about jobs and efficiency, it's about having a stronger position over labor. AI is useful, in most cases this makes existing labor better. The number of jobs that can be actually automated by it is much lower than people percieve. But the narrative is what matters. The temporary displacement and uncertainty of labor is what matters. It creates a weaker position for labor.

The report comes from a firm called Challenger, Gray, and Christmas, which sells coaching and "career transition" services.
This is marketing.
