Sounds like an opportunity for workers to sabotage the system by using AI too much without increasing productivity. Let the assholes figure it out for themselves.

Some companies are already firing people to save on salary costs and pay more for AI.

It seems to be basically crack for the command centers of capitalist companies.

AI seems like a genius solution for the mediocre and the lazy. I guess all these tech companies are full of mediocre and lazy people in the c-suite.

Unfortunately it's a bit of an "emperors new clothes" situation as none of them will admit AI is worse than what they were told
