The pitch AI companies are making for AI feels like a giant scam/rug pull. Sometime in the near future...maybe this future is already here it's hard to say...you will be able to stop hiring junior employees and replace them with an AI.
But what's the plan 10 years from now when everyone stopped hiring junior employees? Didn't you just undermine your own company's future?
Maybe the idea is that 5 or 10 years from now, it won't matter because everything has been replaced by AI, not just the junior employees. But no one has explained (and no one seems capable of explaining) how this new system is supposed to work. How will companies make money when no one has a job?
AI companies don't seem to have a plan for this. They are just hyping the possibility of unlimited profits by firing everyone and racing towards IPO where they will cash out the enormous amount of hype they've built around AI and then let everyone else figure this out.

- I don't see how any of this can happen while AI is so expensive to use. Google doesn't give you enough credits and all their features until you pay $250/month.CyBrainX
- I'm not saying the technology isn't useful or valuable but the business pitch seems to be centered around greed and unrealistic promises.yuekit
- And yeah the cost could definitely be an issue at some point. How much compute will it take to fully replace a human employee (if that's even possible)?yuekit
