Holy Toledo AI is Everywhere!

Okay okay settle down everyone! It's Jackie Chan here reporting live from… well my living room because even I need a day off from kicking bad guys. I heard about this Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff talking about AI taking over jobs. AI doing jobs? Last time something tried to take MY job it was Chris Tucker! And even then I had backup. So this is interesting. Benioff says AI is doing like 30% to 50% of their work! That's more than I use in a single movie!

AI Gets More Accurate Scary!

He claims they're at 93% accuracy. 93%! That's almost as good as my aim when throwing a vase at a henchman! Almost. But he also said hitting 100% isn't 'realistic'. Good! Because if AI gets too perfect what are we supposed to do? I mean I've made a career out of barely escaping exploding buildings and ridiculous stunts. Can AI even do that? I doubt it can climb a building using just an umbrella!

Digital Labor Revolution? Sounds Like a Movie Title!

Benioff calls it a 'digital labor revolution'. Sounds like a terrible sequel to *'Rumble in the Bronx'*! But seriously he's right. Technology companies are all trying to cut costs and be more efficient with this AI thing. Which means... less jobs for people. Now I'm all for efficiency but not if it means everyone's sitting at home playing video games all day! We need action! We need… slapstick comedy!

Tech Giants Going AI Crazy!

Salesforce isn't the only one. This article says companies like Klarna and even Amazon are using AI to reduce roles. 40% headcount reduction! That's like half the cast of *'Shanghai Noon'* gone! I hope these companies are thinking about the people they're replacing. Maybe they can train them to be stunt doubles! I'm always looking for new talent.

Data Centers and Chips? Like My Chopsticks!

Apparently Benioff said data centers and chips are 'commodities'. Hmmm commodities… like chopsticks! Everyone has them but it's all about how you use them! You can eat noodles or you can use them to disarm a gang of thugs! The same goes for data and chips. It’s all about how you apply them.

So What Does Jackie Think?

Look I'm not against progress. I love gadgets! But we have to be careful. AI is powerful. It can do great things but it can also... take away jobs. It's like in *'Who Am I?'* when I forgot my past. AI could make us forget how to do things ourselves! We need to find a balance. Maybe we can teach AI some Kung Fu. Then we'll see who's the real master! And remember 'Don't be afraid to make mistakes but make sure you don't make the same mistake twice!' That applies to both humans and AI!
