My Therapist/Job Loss Counselor is a Chatbot

I have an older post titled My Therapist is a Chatbot and if you liked it you’ll love this story.

Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing… looked at everything that has happened this week, particularly the bit where Xbox laid off a bunch of people at the same time Microsoft pledged to invest $80 billion in AI, and decided that not only does he need to give advice to those laid off, but that the advice should come in the form of…AI prompts, which will somehow give responses that will “help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss”. Xbox Producer Recommends Laid Off Workers Should Use AI To ‘Help Reduce The Emotional And Cognitive Load That Comes With Job Loss’https://aftermath.site/xbox-microsoft-layoffs-ai-prompt-chatgpt-matt

The source article contains a screen shot of Turnbull’s LinkedIn post. Well worth reading for the shock value alone.

Yikes.

  1. What’s gonna happen to all the people who have lost their jobs to doge cuts and what will happen to all the people who are going to lose their jobs to AI? And the social safety nets like snap and Medicaid and Social Security are vanishing.
