Satirizing AI marketing: Selling AI to protect against AI displacement?
suchenzang · x · 2026-08-17
The author mocks an AI proponent's marketing logic. The figure first constrains AI displacement to "entry-level" work and claims only 50% displacement instead of utopian GDP growth scenarios. He then likens AI disruption to historical shifts from farming to factories and the internet.
