Microsoft’s overwhelming layoffs this week was particularly difficult in her gaming studios, but Xbox executives have a solution “to help reduce emotional and cognitive pregnancy that comes with job loss”: requesting advice from AI Chatbots.

In the LinkedIn, feverish now, it was captured by afterMatt Turnbull of Xbox Game Studios said it would be “limited to not trying to give the best advice I can under these circumstances.” Conditions here are a large group of game canceling, services that are closed, studio closure, and job discounts across the main Xbox sections such as Microsoft put up to 9100 employees throughout the company.

Turnbull acknowledged that people have some “strong feelings” about artificial intelligence tools such as Chatgpt and Copilot, but they suggested that anyone feels “steeped” can use them to obtain advice on creating a CV, career planning and applying for new roles.

“These are really difficult times, and if you are moving in the demobilization of workers or even preparing quietly, you are not alone and you do not have to go alone,” said Turnboul. “No Amnesty International tool is an alternative to your voice or life experience. But at a time when mental energy is rare, these tools can help you get without accuracy, calm and clear.”

Microsoft adopted a loud voice of artificial intelligence, after declaring her plans in January to invest $ 80 billion in Amnesty International’s infrastructure before this last wave of job cuts. This environment may have made Turnbull believe that its recommendations are reasonable. However, some creators, on a broader scale, are seen by artificial intelligence by some designs as a threat to creative industries such as games, which are already struggling with workers’ demobilization and studio closure over the past few years.

It is unclear why Turnbull has deleted LinkedIn, but if the comments on this intention to Bluesky are any indicator, then it is possible that the two defections were not fine to its suggestions.
