Apparently they are also hiring back some of them.

29% of firms have already rehired for AI-cut roles, while 55% of executives regret replacing workers with AI. From Big Tech to fast food, the AI revolution promised efficiency—instead, it delivered a costly lesson in human judgment.

But often they'll rehire for a lower salary or hire offshore.
