If your new work colleague Gerald introduces himself by knocking you over the head with a frozen chicken, it’s as correct to say “ow, I’ve been hit with a chicken!” as it is to say “ow, I’ve been hit by Gerald!”

If your boss says “I’ve hired this guy Gerald to do your job instead of you because I can pay him in frozen chickens, you’re fired!” you can say “damn, I’ve lost my job due to Gerald!” just as much as you can say “damn, I’ve been fired by my boss!”

So, losing your job because your management has made the shitty decision to use AI instead of employing you can be accurately described as “losing your job due to AI.”

Anyway, fuck the boss and fuck Gerald.
