Which in turn replaces people. What happens if a person is 50 percent more productive with AI? Is the company going to let them simply have 50% of the workload they would before, or will they lay off the other unneeded employees?

Listen, you're not middle-managing hard enough. If AI tools can improve worker productivity by 50%, then you fire 75% of staff and overwork the remaining 25% while threatening to replace them with AI if they don't suck it up.

If in the future you're ever in doubt about how to tackle a problem, just think to yourself "what would an idiot with an MBA do?" and you'll be set.
