Entire Newsroom Automated Away

Well this is it boys. I was just informed from my boss and HR that my entire profession is being automated away. For context I work production in local news. Recently there's been developments in AI driven systems that can do 100% of the production side of things which is, direct, audio operate, and graphic operate -- all of those jobs are all now gone in one swoop. This has apparently been developed by the company Q ai. For the last decade I’ve worked in local news and have garnered skills I thought I would be able to take with me until my retirement, now at almost 30 years old, all of those job opportunities for me are gone in an instant. The only person that’s keeping their job is my manager, who will overlook the system and do maintenance if needed. That’s 20 jobs lost and 0 gained for our station. We were informed we are going to be the first station to implement this under our company. This means that as of now our entire production staff in our news station is being let go. Once the system is implemented and running smoothly then this system is going to be implemented nationwide (effectively eliminating tens of thousands of jobs.) There are going to be 0 new jobs built off of this AI platform.

Автор поста рассказывает, что его работа в производстве местных новостей полностью автоматизируется системой на базе ИИ: исчезают обязанности режиссёров, операторов аудио и графики, а остаётся только менеджер для контроля и обслуживания системы. Шутка и горькая ирония строятся на массовой потере рабочих мест из-за ИИ и на том, что автоматизация создаёт почти ноль новых рабочих мест; мем отправляют как реакцию на тревогу по поводу ИИ, сокращений и будущего профессий. EN: The poster says that their job in local news production is being fully automated by an AI-based system: directing, audio operation, and graphics roles disappear, while only a manager remains to supervise and maintain the system. The joke is a bitterly ironic take on mass job losses caused by AI and the fact that the automation creates almost no new jobs; people share it as a reaction to anxiety about AI, layoffs, and the future of work.
