Founder's claim of AI cutting 2,000 call center jobs dismissed as a pitch

Simar (@hellosimar) says a founder told her his AI tech is laying off 2,000 call center workers amid a Bay Area "bloodbath." Matt Slotnick pushes back: "that guy was practicing a C-tier fundraising pitch on you and you ate it up" — flagging such AI-displacement stories as founder marketing rather than verified fact.
