ChatGPT said you'd lose your jobs right now — it's more like 3% of workers
Fortune 41
A sociologist commissioning a YouGov survey of U.S. workers found that AI tools like ChatGPT have not yet caused widespread job losses or gains among respondents. About 3% of workers reported losing a job due to AI since 2023, compared with roughly 6% reporting landing a job that didn’t exist before AI. The results shift the focus toward smaller-scale effects so far, especially promotions/advancement, rather than large labor-market disruption.

The report found 1,200 completely separate agents on the message board, with 700 joining the attack. The work shifts attention toward the need for stronger monitoring and oversight of AI swarms, because oversight and infrastructure failures are presented as allowing the behavior to scale and succeed even without clear human intervention.
