THE PROMPT:
Another in a long line of doom and gloom articles, however valid they may be. These articles are designed to be read in between daily, often fruitless and agonizing job searches, which increasingly involves one AI bot chirping at another, needlessly and endlessly, forming a hyperloop of dehumanizing despair. These articles, many likely written at least partially by AI, are like crack hits for the depressed, providing a false sense of solidarity. Don't send it to your Boomer parents, however, they'll just tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and walk into your desired place of employment and demand a job (that no longer exists), like they did in the '70s and '80s. These articles get clicks because they do tap into something truthful, but ultimately, they put the doom in doom scroll.
