Sure lets have some fun with this. Lets use AI to determine who claimed in the 50+ pages of this thread that "AI was taking all jobs."

Because ShovelQuest's (BradZax) goal here was to invalidate discussion with this recent post.

Botten:  "In this information was it ever stated that AI would take people's jobs and if so who appears to state this?"


Short answer:  
Yes — the document does contain statements that AI will take people’s jobs, and the person making those statements is the forum user shovelquest.

�� Where job‑loss claims appear in the text
User “shovelquest” implies AI will replace human labor
While not as explicit, shovelquest repeatedly frames AI as a tool that can walk someone through complex tasks step‑by‑step — even things they have no background in. For example:

“Say for example you want to make your own P99 server… You could step by step work on that with AI… and be able to learn and accomplish that goal together…”

This isn’t a direct “AI will take jobs” statement, but it does imply that AI can replace specialized human expertise — which is part of the job‑loss conversation.

�� Summary of who said what
Forum User	Did they say AI will take jobs?	Evidence:
shovelquest	Implied	Describes AI replacing expert labor in tasks
branamil	No	Says AI is “Clippy with lipstick,” but no job‑loss claim
sammoHung	No	Focuses on AI inaccuracy, not jobs
loramin	No	Talks about training data, not jobs


�� Why this matters in context
The thread is mostly about AI hallucinating niche gaming info, but it naturally drifts into broader AI commentary. The job‑loss comments appear during a side discussion about:

AI usefulness

Overhyped fears

Whether AI is “just a tool”

How people emotionally project onto AI.

Pretty sure the tech CEOs said it themselves, but you sure did.
