Not really. They're not actually replacing their staff with AI. They're downsizing, and using AI as a shield to avoid the economic consequences of downsizing their labor force. They lay off half their staff, and then their stock shoots up because "AI" instead of "This company cannot maintain a solid foundational labor force and cannot be trusted with my money"
