Just as "vibecoding" and "slop" quickly became the established terms for the novel AI-driven phenomena they were describing, one might expect convergence on a popular term for the possibility of mass job loss precipitated by modern AI. A qualifying term must be mainly used to refer to AI job loss in general, or the abstract idea of a set of AI-induced layoff, rather than a specific set of layoffs or job loss in a particular economic sector (more specific than "white-collar workers").

I'll resolve if it seems like popular culture has mostly converged on a single term. This will necessarily be a vibes-y resolution. To decide when to resolve, I'll draw from sources including popular X posts, Reddit, and news articles (a la this one about vibecoding in the NYT). I'll also give time for commenters to discuss the extent to which a term has solidified, and the extent to which there are extant rival terms, before resolving.
