This isn't about technology at all, it is about rationalizing dehumanizing workers.
Always has been. But for the sake of argument let’s say it’ll work, this whole AI schtick. As a business you’re then opening yourself up to the same squeeze as SaaS does, except instead of tools being held hostage to a Silicon Valley behemoth, it’s the core of your company.
Shit deal if you ask me.
