Yeah, but let’s say you had 12 guys hand scrubbing to keep up with the plates, but then you got a mediocre dishwashing machine that did a worse job scrubbing. You wouldn’t dismiss the machine because it was imperfect, you would say I need a dishwashing machine operator, who might have to do a quality check on the way out, or otherwise have whoever is plating put it in a stack for hand scrubbing, and lay off 11 of the guys.
So this could be the way out if AI worked ‘as advertised’. It however largely does not.
But then to the second point, it doesn’t even need to work as advertised if the business leader thinks it’s good enough and does the layoffs. They might end up having to scale back operations, but somehow it won’t be their fault.
