CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem. Two problems, actually.
One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.
Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.
You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.
The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke. The AI just invoices you for the outage.
And then thereβs the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.
To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.
You didnβt hire a replacement. You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.
Enjoy.
Yes.funny isn't it that instead of making sure everything humans program and complete needing to be stored "in the cloud" (which can be hijacked) now apparently hard copy by humans is required of all AI you involve. Today's system of checks and balances, hand-entered data by humans. Think about that little notification at AI sites. " AI can make mistakes. Confirm accuracy." How will one do that without involving people?
