Redacted His Name Out of Sympathy

Redacted his name out of sympathy Hi Brooks - I'm a reporter with CNN, working on a story about AI replacing jobs in the US. I saw your tweet. I'm really sorry you were laid off. I'd like to learn more if you have a couple minutes to chat Hey [redacted]. Which tweet are you referring to? I was laid off from Google today after 24 amazing years working on the Crawler team. My job was to click all the links on websites and add the pages to Google. Apparently AI can do this now Was this a serious tweet?

A reporter messages Brooks about being laid off because AI replaced his job, assuming his tweet was serious. Brooks reveals that his former job was manually clicking website links for Google, making the supposed layoff story sound absurd and likely satirical. The punchline is that the reporter completely missed the joke and treated the ridiculous tweet as real.
