For the CEOs who are purely money-driven, it tracks. But for those, and their 2 or 3 tiers of upper management, who are driven by power-seeking, this solution is likely to be unsatisfactory. For companies not embracing AI, look at their culture. Are they benign or autocratic?

Objectively speaking, the C-suite performs all their tasks based on spreadsheets and data input and makes decisions based on that, so they're far more suited for AI replacement than any of the employed worker drones who have to use creativity, human insight and empathy to do their job.

Any CEO who is _excited_ to lay off human workers in order to replace them with AI can, quite frankly, fuck off and die as soon as humanly possible. Nothing of value will have been lost and the world will be a genuinely better place without these greedy assholes.

“It doesn’t ask for a pay raise” is a BONKERS claim that requires businesses to believe that AI companies will notice everyone exclusively using their product and decide “you know what, no, I WON’T raise the price of my product to reflect its value in the marketplace”

Once the CEO's become addicted to their AI "bonus" the AI companies will raise their prices. AI junkies will pay whatever the AI company demands. Will we see an AI cartel perhaps? Price collusion to keep the money flowing and server farms powered up?

It is, like always, a very temporary gain. AI screws up. A lot. It will take people to fix things, and they will cost more money than was once "saved". But tech-bros invented AI, and now they push it on everybody to validate the time they took to invent that instead of something actually useful.

Basically, Data Centers needed for AI cost the PUBLIC money, not the corporations that use them. And since AI is replacing employees, they save money that way, too, in salary & perks like health insurance. Not to mention, computers don't whine for company cars and parental leave.

Highly doubt it. There will be a reduction in workforce initially (which is going on now) but once companies realize that the robots can't do really anything useful, they will scramble to hire a bunch of ""new"positions that will basically be worse versions of the previous roles.
