AI Helps People Get Jobs that Are Demeaning and Pay Badly

  

I was just talking to some people at Trader Joe's in Chapel Hill, NC and they said that when they opened the job opening portal a few days ago, they got maybe 250 applications in 24 hours.  The person I was talking to, a manager at TJs, says that several of them had been laid off of their previous job because of AI.  Tell me, do you think the companies that are making (you tell me) hundreds of billions of dollars on AI are going to trickle some of that money, maybe a few pennies, down stream to the people who they have impoverished?  Asking for a friend.
