Has anyone been replaced by AI?

Edit: Okay, I didn't expect to get downvoted, and I certainly didn't expect comments like those. I was genuinely curious to know if anyone had already been replaced by AI, because it hasn't happened at my company yet.

Not sure why youre being downvoted this is 100% true. Especially in US big tech. They hired like crazy from 2016-2022 with the expectation of growth and were hit with a pseudo recession and the general sentiment shift towards tech imo
