I replaced all of my online contractors with AI. Our business will only hire local people from now on.

It is well worth the money, and we just had it write a few programs that do what those contractors did.

It sums up our email inbox for us.

It writes near perfect customer responses (trained on our business data).

I’m not sure what to tell you but some of you are going to be blindsided.

It’s just a small business, too. Now that we don’t need to pay those contractors (who did a worse job than what we get now) we are scaling up.

Believe me or don’t but i can’t be the only one doing this.

So it can just talk about things in a limited scope believably. Okay.

Hard to tell what the actual value is here since “Online contractors” is a bit vague. AI coding is error prone and pretty limited. It’s basically a requirement to have someone to babysit it and studies done on this exact arrangement have shows that practically speaking far more time is wasted implementing AI in this arrangement than just having people do it.

The customer responses thing is fairly simple but is one of those cases where it works until it doesn’t. Small hallucinations by AI can mean serious liability for companies.

When I say “AI can’t replace anyone’s job” I don’t mean that you physically can’t fire somebody and then turn on an AI, but that it is not and likely won’t ever be a worthwhile replacement. In your case you’ve “replaced people with AI” in the same sense as you can “replace” someone by firing them and not hiring a replacement at all.
