San Francisco startup Artisan has put up 'Stop Hiring Humans' billboards across cities from San Francisco to New York, with the tagline 'The Era of AI Employees Is Here.'
Artisan sells AI agents for outbound sales automation — lead generation, cold emailing, list-building and prospecting. The provocative campaign is sparking debate about mass unemployment and whether the AI-replaces-humans future is utopia or dystopia, while doubling as attention-grabbing marketing for the company.
