The Dangers of “Vibe Reporting” About AI - Cal Newport:
Both of these articles cover the same announcement, but they produce two very different impressions. The Quartz article strongly implies that Amazon is firing people because it can now offload their work to AI. (I mean: look at the Andy Jassey quote they included in the sub-head, they clearly wanted readers to believe AI caused these job losses.)The CNBC article, by contrast, makes it clear that the connection between AI and these layoffs is more coincident than causal.
It's increasingly important to understand if the article you're reading is trying to convince you of something, trying to anger you, or actually trying to inform you.
