Microsoft continues to experience layoffs, leading to uncertainties and stress for many workers. Following a recent round of layoffs, Matt Turnbull from Xbox Game Studios suggested using AI chatbots to cope. He acknowledged the challenging times for those affected and mentioned how AI could alleviate emotional stress. He claimed AI tools might assist in tackling imposter syndrome or improving resumes. This advice is controversial, especially considering the timing and Turnbull's association with a company deeply invested in AI solutions.
In a post on LinkedIn responding to the layoffs, Turnbull rightly noted that these are 'really challenging times' for those affected and suggested AI can be used to reduce the 'emotional and cognitive load' of job losses.
Turnbull suggested that AI can be used to help overcome that pesky imposter syndrome you're dealing with, spruce up your resume, or even draft messages to improve 'networking & outreach'.
No AI tool is a replacement for your voice or lived experience,' he wrote. 'But in times when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help you get unstuck faster, calmer, and with more clarity.
Yet more lives turned upside down. But don't worry, Matt Turnbull, an executive producer at Xbox Game Studios thinks the solution to the wave of stress you're about to experience lies in speaking to an AI chatbot.
