I'm not smart enough for there to be this many people stupider than me.
Big same
Picture how stupid the average person is. Now, realize that half the planet is stupider than him.

Spending a few pounds a month on AI and sleep an hour longer or do whatever while an agent is doing my job, that doesn't sound like the worst idea to me.
I'm sorry you're like this.
According to the article, they use the gained time to do more work. This doesn't seem like a win to me, they do more work but still are paid the same. In fact, if they pay for AI, then they get even less while providing more value to the corporation.
