After Microsoft removed 9,000 workers last week, and fired 4% of the global workforce, one employee had an unusual message to let go. Turn your eyes to ChatGpt to reduce the emotional burden.
Xbox executive producer Matt Turnbull said last week that in these “really challenging times,” employees “don't have to go alone” and “not alone.”
Instead, AI tools like ChatGpt and Copilot can help reduce the emotional and cognitive load associated with unemployment,” writes Turnbull. He completed the post with some quick ideas and use cases of AI that can be useful in cases where laid-off workers are “overwhelmed.” Use cases include resume tailoring, networking messaging, and career planning.

“AI tools don't replace your voice or your living experience,” Turnbull wrote in the post. “But when mental energy is lacking, these tools help you stop faster, calmer and more clearly.”
Turnbull experienced a quick backlash from other experts on LinkedIn for his post and eventually deleted it Technical Radar. According to his LinkedIn profile, he was not affected by Microsoft's layoffs last week.
As Microsoft drives away workers, it continues to invest deeply in AI. The company has spent $80 billion this year building an AI-model data center.
Related: Amazon is planning to spend more than $100 billion on AI this year. Here's how to compare it to Google, Meta, and Microsoft:
AI takes over coding at Microsoft. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a sit-in chat with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg in April that Microsoft engineers were using AI to write 20-30% of the code for corporate projects.
He said the amount of code created by AI varies depending on the programming language. AI writes “fantastic” Python code, but “so great” C++ code, Nadella said.
Other tech companies spend a lot of money on AI and use it in their daily work. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in an April revenue call that Google was using AI to write “a lot more than 30%” of the new code, while Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in January that Meta was developing AI to write code comparable to medium-level engineers. Google has spent up to $75 billion on AI this year, while Meta has spent up to $65 billion.
Microsoft is one of the most valuable companies in the world at the time of writing, second only to Nvidia, with a market capitalization of $3.7 trillion.
