Turns out telling an entire generation that AI will replace half their jobs, flood the internet with slop and make billionaires richer didn’t produce boundless techno optimism. Who could have predicted that? The AI industry may have a capability problem, but it definitely has a messaging problem.

The AI industry is actively telling companies that they can become 'more efficient' (i.e. fire workers) with AI; that's more than a mere 'messaging problem'.

It has a financial interest in companies firing their workers and raising prices to make room for it.

It’s that they believed it was an inevitability — a very profitable inevitability.
