No no you found the actual "use" for AI as far as businesses go. They don't care about the human cost of adopting AI and firing large swaths of workers just profits.
Which is why governments should be quickly moving to highly regulate AI and it's uses. But governments are slow plodding things full of old people who get confused with toasters.
As always capitalism kills.
This is the part that bothers me the most, I think.
Trouble is the best way to regulate it isn't clear. If the new tool can do the job at least as well and cheaper, just disallowing it is less beneficial to society. You can tax its use until it is only a little cheaper, but then you have to get people to approve of taxes. Et cetera
