An Xbox executive suggested using AI chatbots like ChatGPT for emotional and career support during Microsoft's job cuts affecting over 9,000 employees.
The recommendation aimed at helping employees with resume creation, job search, and career planning to alleviate the emotional burden of job loss.
The proposal received mixed reactions, with concerns raised about the reliability of AI-generated advice during vulnerable times and the potential risks involved.
