Lol. Lmao even
Pretty sure the point was to drive down the price of labour?
Not the only point. No one to complain or so you when you say to do something immoral ,unethical, illegal, hateful, or just plain old evil.
Not having to worry about hire/fire cycles, can just turn off and on as needed. Can make AI work 24 hours a day everyday assuming you have lobbied to get unfair access/cost to/on the energy
And you can have it tell you anything you want it to when you have board meeting
I’m not sure how you don’t think that all translates into labour value. These are expenses and the fake narrative that this technology is even capable of labour is itself oriented around making human labour less valuable. It’s always been about reaping even more from the only resource they have difficulty owning completely.
