It would be whataboutism if it was a random Joe saying "China is evil" not literally a company that 1) is in the US 2) has a strong influence in the government and legislations affecting them and their competition.

New comment by Doch88 in "AI Engineers aren't safe from being replaced by AI"

I agree with you, although you could argue that history teaches the opposite, for example the many jobs that disappeared after medieval times, even if they existed for centuries.
