Never underestimate management's thirst for elimiating pesky problems that come with dealing with human bodies - vacations, pregnancies, office rivalries, time zones, and heck, unionization.
I suspect the real driver of the shift to AI will be this and not lower cost/efficiency.

But that's what 95% management is for. If you don't have humans, you don't need majority of managers.
And I know of plenty of asshole managers, who enjoy their job because they get to boss people around.
And another thing people are forgetting. That end users AKA consumers will be able to use similar tech as well. So for something they used to hire a company for, they will just use AI, so you don't even need CEO's and financial managers in the end :)
Because , if software CEO can push a button to create an app that he wants to sell, so can his end-users.
My strong belief is that if someone wanted to halt AI development, they should attempt to train AI replacements for managers and politicians, and publicize it.
