AI for what?? (ppl like working w/ ppl!)

AI companies are now starting to say that their products will replace middle managers, not just low skilled workers doing menial tasks like data entry, fact-checking, and basic research. They promise immense cost savings. But the thing is ... these AI companies, they're going to have to start charging REAL MONEY for their services at some point very soon. So much money is being invested and spent on artificial intelligence, with the promise that there are immense profits on the other side of the spend. Therefore, AI companies cannot use the freemium model forever. Or even the low cost model they're using right now. They're going to have to start charging real money, real fees, real licensing fees, very soon. And I'm predicting that those fees will be really high, and that they will be about 75% of the cost of an employee that one AI license will replace. And I think a lot of companies are going to say, "it's not worth it, yeah it'd be great to save 25%, but if it's going to take an entire structural redesign of my entire business to adopt AI technologies that will save me 25% at scale, only to save 25% or so, it's simply not worth the risk".

I think a lot of companies will see it as not worth the time, money, or effort. Because if you change a company that radically, there's always the risk that it will end a good thing. That it will have a negative effect on business, on actual sales, on actual relationships between customers, clients, vendors, suppliers, and marketers. I think most businesses will say that rebuilding the airplane while they're flying the airplane is simply not a risk worth taking -- especially if the airplane is flying perfectly well already!
