An AI startup told San Francisco to stop hiring humans
YC-backed startup Artisan just launched a billboard campaign across San Francisco with blunt slogans like "Stop Hiring Humans" and "Artisans won’t complain about work-life balance." The ads pitch its customer service and sales software as tireless "AI employees," directly targeting the tech hub's human workforce. Online reaction has been largely sour, with workers calling the stunt a dystopian nightmare.
