I’m marketing something that might cause people to lose their jobs

Initially I was excited since it’s a new launch. Don’t panic it’s not releasing soon.

I started my career in a job where I learnt a lot about data science. Back then talks about AI replacing jobs was a hot trend but I knew it couldn’t do that back then it was all overhyped.

But now I’m launching something that will in a few years actually replace jobs. Like at least 20% will be affected in a dept of consumer companies.

I’ve talked about this to many people but mann halka nahi ho raha. I’m excited for the opportunity to work on something cutting edge but I’m feeling bad, like actual emotionally. The thought “am I a bad person” crossed my mind.

How do I deal with this emotional roller coaster!

P.S. Please don’t ask me company etc, for privacy…

Anything, or to be precise, most technology or technological innovation which makes work easier, replaces some jobs somewhere. So I find this argument of “xyz coming and replacing jobs”, a really stupid argument to throw. GenAI coming, will it take my job, AGI is coming, will it lead to huge job losses, etc etc, I find these discussions really lame and stupid. It is basic Science logic, Science is bound to improve and innovate. Hyping up every new thing and creating a wave of discussion around those, seems such a childish thing to do for. Come on, people are not going to get murdered. When there are lakhs of people unemployed in our Country, or doing manual work, it appears silly to be so worried about certain sections of jobs. Besides, if 100 jobs will reduce in one sector, may be 100 new jobs will come up in another sector, who is guaranteeing that net no. of jobs are guaranteed to go down? Anyway, done with my rant…

Given his designation in product marketing, it's clear that he is using this tactic to spread rumors. I don't believe he is capable of doing something like this. If someone were genuinely involved, they wouldn't disclose anything until it was finalized.

  • my friend who works at meta. in response to a friend's question - how do big tech folks sleep peacefully at night.

You can use that money and experience to build something charitable too, like providing employment to those who lose their jobs.

was going to say the exact thing - if you don't do it someone else will.

Best you can do is be ethical about it, seems like you have a conscience

In a few years, yes some. Why is it so hard to believe? AI has caused workforce trimming in customer support already.
