For full irony they take your data, then use that data to replace your job.

they don't even replace any jobs, they suck out all money out that was previously going to employ people doing useful things.

I feel like we need a new word for money going to datacenters instead of paychecks. 'AI taking jobs' implies AI is doing the work , which is not the case.

It's not irony so much as it is brazenly criminal. No one should be in a position of training someone else's AI to replace their job function without consenting to it and without being compensated.

The most valuable thing AI can do right now is write code, and it couldn't do that without thousands of StackOverflow volunteers.

Essentially displacing other jobs into power generation / energy extraction (something that, generally, we don’t want more of, since very little data centre energy is green) and huge investments in mass production AI capable servers which become obsolete rapidly.
