And last year they were all saying some variation on "don't worry, AI is not going to cost anyone their jobs."

Key take away for anyone is to never trust what an executive is saying. Much like a politician, if their lips are moving they are probably lying.

That makes the point just as well. Company X uses AI to put software out even faster but the demand didn't suddenly manifest from nowhere so they sold the same amount. What do they do with the extra time? Sure they can work on something new, but there's probably an equal chance they keep release cycles the same and get rid of dead weight (i.e. people).
