> Hyping AI benefits executives even if the tech doesn't actually work, because it puts pressure on workers to accept lower wages, fewer benefits, worse working conditions, etc.
Probably because these conditions don't correlate, but the OP is presenting it as obvious. This is a back-handed wealth inequality pot-shot.
Few companies are hyping AI to then use it to justify cutbacks. The cutbacks are already happening or will happen, regardless, because of the existing economic conditions. ie The unfettered self-sustaining demand for growth, even in a recession.
