What's the point of a Nation having a bunch of big Corporations that put the Population out of Work. It is the most short sighted greed that makes no sense to the long term survival of all inhabitants.
We might have seen something like this before. I am old enough to remember when only the largest companies had any computing capability at all. The story was then that computers would come in and do all the boring paperwork for us. We would be able to "ask them questions," and they would tell us the answers.
OK, some people were laid off as a result but we also got the tech industries that now employ millions.
The main difference with AI is that it has been hyped out of sight. It may be good but I think many are trying to run before they can walk. For instance, AI is good at some things but does that actually result in savings? The IT projects I have worked on spent most of their time either in planning or in testing. The actual coding, which is where I see AI being the most use, is not the largest part of the project.
Maybe AI will be like the motorways we installed in the UK. Yes, you can travel quickly on them but, in reality, they just get you to the next bottleneck faster!
That's only supposed to happen after the company is hooked and can't turn back.
Stupid marketers, they should've kept the low prices for a few years.

Almost sounds like propaganda, don’t it? It’s got us all scared of computers.
Using AI unintelligently costs more.
Yes, that is correct.

Well... I agree to a point.
However, how much work was done? If it costs more, but was 100 times as fast, then was it worth it?
Also, this "cost" is completely manufactured. Think about it-what are you actually paying for? It's more fraudulent than the dollar bill.
I think when AI is more expensive than humans, then it can be surmised that it is not 100 times as fast as we were propagandized to believe...
I'm not sure that computes without hard data.
And I'm not even stating it's the case. However, what this story proposes needs to have that data included.
...Garland is the real deal...
And the argument they used to impose this nonsense was that it was going to save money.
This is peak late-stage NPM. (that's New Public Management)
