Is AI replacing jobs? If so, howāand what should we do about it? Meanwhile, OpenAIās latest model is hallucinating more than its predecessors, raising new concerns. As companies continue to relax guardrails on AI systems, we may see a rise in hallucinations and biased outputs across the board. Letās dig inā¦

Investor Claims AI Is Fully Replacing Workers.
But Reality Tells a Messier Story

Venture capitalist Victor Lazarte says AI is already "fully replacing people," calling corporate talk of āAI augmenting workersā nonsense. On the Twenty Minute VC podcast, he warned that lawyers and HR workers are most at risk, urging law students to rethink their future careers.
But real-world results contradict the hype:
In HR, 99% of Fortune 500 companies use AI to filter job applicants, and some even use it for interviews. This has created a system full of bias and spammy, AI-generated applications, leaving many job seekers, especially the elderly, disabled, and immigrants, at a disadvantage.
The core issue: AI often sacrifices accuracy for speed, making it unreliable in fields requiring precision.
As UC Berkeleyās Hany Farid warns:
āJust because something is inevitable, it doesnāt mean you deploy it.ā

AI Replacing Jobs in 2025.

ExplodingTopics.com
In 2025, AI is rapidly transforming the global workforce, with estimates suggesting that up to 300 million jobs could be automated, affecting 9.1% of global employment.
Already, 14% of workers have been displaced by AI, and 23.5% of U.S. companies report replacing staff with tools like ChatGPT. As we mentioned above roles in data entry, HR, law, and administration are among the most exposed, especially in advanced economies where 60% of jobs are vulnerable to automation.
š§ How People Are Responding
120 million workers will retrain in the next 3 years.
Only 34% of companies are reskilling employees for AI.
30% of workers fear their job will be obsolete by 2025.
52% of 18ā24-year-olds worry AI will harm their careers.

š Where AI Is Being Adopted
60% of large enterprises had adopted AI by 2022 (IBM).
74.9% of companies plan to adopt AI by 2027.
Larger firms are 2x more likely to implement AI than small businesses.
š AIās Job-Creating Potential
AI & ML specialists expected to see highest net job growth by 2027.
25.6% of employers believe AI will create jobs.
15% productivity boost seen when employees use LLMs.
š§© Reality Check
Less than 5% of jobs can be fully automated today.
Vision-based AI economically replaces only 0.4% of U.S. wages.
77% of jobs contain at least one task highly exposed to AI.
Regardless of how often the statistics shift, one thing remains clear: we must upskill, adapt, and rethink how we work in response to rapid technological change. The world is evolving faster than ever, and staying one step ahead is essential, not just to remain productive at work, but to thrive in all areas of life. Embracing technology isnāt just about career growth; itās about personal growth too. When used intentionally, tech can help you become more efficient, informed, and ultimately, a better version of yourself.

OpenAIās New Reasoning Models Hallucinate More.

OpenAI's latest AI models, o3 and o4-mini, show improved performance in reasoning tasks like coding and math, but they hallucinate more than older models. Internal tests found:
o3 hallucinates in 33% of PersonQA questions ā double the rate of o1 (16%) and o3-mini (14.8%).
o4-mini is worse, hallucinating 48% of the time.
These models generate more claims overall, which increases both accurate and inaccurate outputs. Third-party lab Transluce also found o3 invents actions it didnāt perform, such as falsely claiming it ran code outside of ChatGPT.
The root cause is unclear. Researchers suspect that reinforcement learning in reasoning models may amplify hallucinations. While companies like Workera report performance gains using o3, they also flag issues like hallucinated broken links.
Adding web search has proven helpfulāGPT-4o with search hits 90% accuracy on SimpleQAābut reasoning models still pose challenges, especially in high-stakes fields like law.
OpenAI is prioritizing research to reduce hallucinations, acknowledging that as reasoning improves, hallucinations may increaseāa critical issue for AI reliability.
