I always ask myself who will buy the products these companies produce if all the workers have been fired. Maybe inflation is just the natural ramp up to McDonald's charging 5,000 dollars for automated chicken nuggets when there are only billionaire left with money lol.

41% of execs maybe
Must be nice to just throw "A" in front of all your half-baked personal plans to instantly justify them.
There is no denial a.i. is going to replace or significantly reduce some jobs. But I predict it's going to happen mostly in bullshit job like marketing, advertisement, the kind of journalism that repeat the same news from other reputed newspaper.
A.i. isn't going to replace the migrants that lay bricks in front on me, it's not going to replace their chief.
And that means lower prices for consumers. Right? Guys.. r.. right?

No, but it does mean 41%fewer people can afford to buy these companies products, you cheapass shortsighted corporate fucks.
41% is the number of executives that think AI will reduce their work force, not the number of jobs they expect to replace.
Your point stands though.
ITT: bunch of people who have no idea what AI even means
This is kind of like the early days of computers or internet all over again. LLMs is not what educated people mean when they're talking about AI. ChatGPT is not going to take your jobs, AGI will. Nobody just knows when. Might be next year or it might take 2 decades.

AI will (be a great excuse to) reduce workforce, say 41% of people who get bonuses if they do.

Can't wait for the 94% unemployed to raid the banks and eat the Bankers.
That only shows what they hope will happen. In reality menial tasks can be automated and humans can be shifted to more creative roles, which in all honesty means execs could be reduced and replaced by AI. They do nothing other than follow trail of money and waste company resources, something AI can be much more efficient at.
humans can be shifted to more creative roles
It's a fallacy to assume that there will always be enough jobs for everyone who wants a job.
