Where is the evidence that consumers aren’t spending money?
The opposite is true. Savings rates are going down as people splurge.
Sort of. I think it's more that what we consider "splurging" today is more akin to just maintaining a lifestyle level as inflation continues to stay sticky above 2%. Just going off the stated inflation rate, inflation has increased by ~25%-26% (generalized average) since February 2020. While wages have also increased, so too have interest rates on loans and credit card carrying costs, which can more than offset the growth in wages.

Does that explain why I am getting downvoted for posting objective data?
“The job market isnt great but the economy as a whole isn’t in stagflation based on gdp, real wages, and other indicators”
Why is that worthy of a downvote?

Just so you understand: The numbers put out by the government are garbage. Been that way for a long, long time.
A fricking random number generator would be just as accurate.

What jobs has AI replaced in large numbers?
Posted on 2/15/26 at 4:50 pm to sgallo3
When you ask Gemini what jobs has AI impacted or will impact in the foreseeable future, this is the response.
I don't know if that is a realistic number, but I don't think its going to all of a sudden take over 50% of the workforce.. Or even 20% of the work force.

AI is expected to displace around 6-7% of the U.S. workforce, particularly affecting jobs in programming, customer service, and administrative roles. However, this impact is likely to be temporary as new job opportunities may arise from the technology's adoption.

There's a difference between being intellectually dishonest and stupid, you just happen to possess the rare combination of being both.

You realize thats just a twitter account right? The numbers are from the Bureau of Labor Statistics...

In today’s jobs report, the BLS also included its final annual benchmark revision to the establishment employment data. (We discussed the preliminary annual revision in this blog post last September.) The following table from the jobs report indicates that the revision was quite substantial. The revised estimate of payroll employment is 1,029,000 jobs lower than the original estimate. The increase in total nonfarm employment in 2025 was revised down to only 181,000 from the original estimate of 584,000. Leaving aside the collapse in employment in 2020 during the Covid pandemic, job growth in 2025 was the slowest since 2010 in the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession of 2007–2009.

I get job offers weekly and I already have a job.
But then not everyone is cut out for healthcare.

Ah yes the default modern conclusion about job loss
AI
It has nothing to do with anything else huh

AI slop is an upgrade to the human slop they produce. Hopefully the New York Times, the Hill and etc are next.
In all seriousness, the economy is rightsizing after COVID. Anyone with a BA/BS in economics would realize this. No surprise the hammer swingers think it’s due solely to AI

Washington Post just cut 50% of its workforce I assume because they realized AI slop could do most of their work.
They have an archaic business model coupled with the fact that no one believes what they say

him and a couple other OT posters are locked in on this AI thing. Just let them argue amongst themselves while they call others’ lunatics

Right now it feels like a fancy chatbot. But that’s just what’s out there now, and what we are finding uses for it. But the models in development are capable of doing much more. I’m an engineer. Do I think in 5 years could it take my job? Yes. Will it? I don’t know, but if it can probably will. The hope is that it creates another technical revolution, solves problems like energy, pharmaceutical, etc. and creates such an abundance it doesn’t matter. It might also create slaves of us all. Don’t know. But I don’t think it’s inability to do so right now with whatever free or mostly free tool we are playing with means anything. Google, Amazon, the giants have put billions into this already. It’s happening whether we like it or not.
