Okay. It also coincides with the end of the post-pandemic hiring boom and the UK bank rate going from 0.1% to 5.25%. It's kind of funny that reliable data analysis has never been part of the AI hype when you consider that AI is used for data analysis.

If you've ever tried to use AI to help with this kind of analysis, you might find this to be more inevitable than it is funny.

It's really, really, really good at confidently jumping to hasty conclusions and confirmation bias. Which perhaps shouldn't be surprising when you consider that it was largely trained on the Internet's proverbial global comments section.

Kind of like entry level software engineers.

I am kidding, I believe the market has more to do with tax changes than AI. I just couldn't pass up the joke.
