The people deciding that AI can replace your job are also the ones least likely to understand what your job truly involves, according to Box founder Aaron Levie, who pointed to this as an example of AI psychosis.

Indeed, ClickUp recently cut 22% of its workforce for AI agents, and tech layoffs in 2026 are already nearly matching all of 2025, sparking concerns about the role of AI in the job market.

Aaron Levie’s comments highlight the potential risks of CEOs misjudging the capabilities of AI and its impact on the workforce, leading to unnecessary job losses and a lack of understanding about the true value of human workers.
