Jobs are not going away; the conversation needs to stop on job replacement because work is merely changing, not disappearing.

Oracle Summary

Tanya Famador lands at 35/100 (moderate) for minimisation. Famador dismisses legitimate concerns about AI-driven job displacement by stating 'jobs are not going away'—a claim that minimizes structural disruption already underway. While she acknowledges 70% automation of routine tasks, she frames this as transformation rather than loss, avoiding acknowledgment of workers who cannot transition. The claim offers comfort without addressing the real economic displacement occurring in the sector, particularly for lower-skilled workers who lack pathways to 'judgment and empathy' roles. This qualifies as moderate cope: an optimistic reframing that downplays workforce vulnerability.
