I don't think it's a problem for them at all. They lose significantly less than the workers they 'replace' with AI. Relatively speaking, they come out on top by a huge margin. And that seems to be the main point.

Of course, there's also the question of how well that AI will perform compared to workers it supposedly replaced. So far it doesn't seem to be going well. Perhaps it doesn't need to. Who knows.
