A bunch of companies are panicking and rehiring people because the LLMs are worse, slower, and/or more expensive than people, though. Causing people to lose their jobs doesn’t require it to actually do the jobs better, it just requires CEOs to think that it can replace people, which turned out to be far easier.
Here are some examples. Keep in mind that this is just companies that have rehired and admitted it; others are rehiring under another name (e.g. “we cut our workforce because of AI, then it was so successful that we grew and added more jobs” when they’re actually the exact same jobs) and still others are just taking the traditional path of laying off people who were actually needed and then shoving the work onto the remaining employees, degrading their products, and so on.
Also, a lot of companies labeled their layoffs as AI not because they actually had anything to do with AI, but because the company was in financial trouble and needed to lay people off, but claiming it was due to AI made the stock price go up instead of down.

Could you please list these companies and compare them by the number of employees laid off because of AI?
