Have you ever wondered why AI is being blamed for taking over jobs, but developers aren’t using AI to replace themselves and enjoy an easier work life? I’m a Director at my company, and I’ve been part of the meetings where we set up tools that cost people their jobs. Here’s the truth: AI isn’t the problem. It’s the executives who are using AI as an excuse to outsource jobs overseas.
Let me break it down. Our company uses Claude AI to write some code, which is then passed on to a developer for validation. But here’s the catch – since the developer is ‘just validating’, we can replace them with an overseas contractor who will work for a fraction of the pay. We’ve tracked the tools, and we haven’t seen any evidence that using Claude AI saves time. But it does let us justify replacing expensive employees with cheap overseas contractors.
So, the next time you hear that AI is taking over jobs, remember – it’s not the AI that’s the problem. It’s the executives who are using AI as a convenient excuse to cut costs and boost profits.
You’re not getting replaced by AI. Your job’s being outsourced overseas.
