Operating costs. Or at least that's the idea. Don't know if it actually makes it cheaper but CEOs sure love not having people to pay.
I understand that having fewer people to pay makes it cheaper for companies, but if the AI isn't performing the duties of the people who got laid off, the AI is not making it cheaper for companies. That's just a round of layoffs, unrelated to AI.
I assure you it doesn't, and these fuckups have a significant cost that we will pay, not them.
Unless enough of us mobilize, then we can absolutely shift that cost, but the requirement is the bare minimum, and unfortunately 99.9 percent of us don't have that.
