If you think about it this is the end-result of market disruptor business models the tech industry loves. First it was things like Taxi companies. Tech comes in with Uber and “disrupts” the market killing all the taxi companies off and forcing their employees onto their apps.
Well, that’s what AI is doing. AI’s model is to disrupt the labour industry, replacing labour and then forcing all of these companies to pay it.
Except unlike all the other disruptor business models they can’t enshittify this one to make it profitable. So they can only raise prices.
