With AI, I think jobs are going to get even worse because if you look at like the IBM— yeah, I was looking at your story on Instagram. See, it blew up. It blew up. I was looking at all the comments on people in HR getting fired and replaced with AI. Yeah. So many of the comments were so happy and they're like, screw HR.
I didn't expect that, that the comments would be so anti-HR.
Yes. And I'm not anti-HR. I think we see utility with HR. There is utility with HR. It just has to be run right, just like any other organization.
I think if you're coming from an employee standpoint, if you think about HR, you're like, HR is next because HR HR is holding the line. They're usually there to fire people or put you on a PIP or whatever. So most people, I think if you work for a company, you're not looking favorably upon HR. But if you run a company, there is utility with HR. But this is where I really see jobs being impacted.
