I don’t feel like the companies are concerned about it costing more right now as much as they are betting that it will be cheaper in the long run. The cost of labor isn’t unlikely to decrease drastically while the technology is likely to become cheaper.
While I would love to believe Microsoft is being burned by spending on AI, I think they don’t mind spending more now so long as they can trade the cost labor for the costs of technology and maintain similar productivity.
Feels like they hope this will be to white collar jobs what Uber was for taxi drivers. Current profitability isn’t really the goal as much as being able to reproduce similar outputs.
