It was about time: AI replacement worker meme

This is a single-panel static meme using a scene from the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) video game series. It depicts two characters facing one another: the character on the left wears a formal business suit, representing an employer or boss, with overlaid text reading "AI will replace you". The character on the right wears casual workwear including a tank top and work pants, representing a blue-collar worker, with reply text reading "Thank God, I can't take it anymore.". The humor comes from the subverted expectation: the boss intends to threaten the worker with unemployment via AI replacement, but the worker is so burnt out from their job that they view being replaced as a positive, welcome relief rather than bad news.

As noted in the provided source information, this meme was originally posted to Reddit meme communities under the title "It was about time". It repurposes existing in-game footage or assets from the Grand Theft Auto video game franchise, with custom text captions added to joke about modern discourse around AI displacing human workers and widespread contemporary worker burnout.
