This isn't exactly "replacing" anyone with AI, they're just utilizing AI as an excuse to move money around while reassuring their investors. More than likely just a way to outsource jobs overseas and give management a raise.

Do those people still have jobs at this company. Yes or no.

Lol, that's a false dichotomy. The original claim was that AI would "replace jobs".
