The Spin

Techno-skeptic narrative

AI companies are openly mocking workers with dystopian marketing campaigns that celebrate mass unemployment. These companies, which are expected to fire hundreds of thousands of workers in another round of layoffs, treat human displacement as a joke, revealing their true contempt for regular people who need jobs to survive.

Techno-optimist narrative

The provocative AI marketing is just attention-grabbing strategy that actually highlights job growth in AI-adopting companies. Research shows most businesses investing in AI actually hire more employees, not fewer, while automating only the tedious tasks workers hate doing anyway.
