The problem is increasing profits by replacing paid labor with something "good enough".

Doesn't sound like a very profitable problem to solve. At least, not in the long term (which no one orchestrating this is thinking in).
Long term is feudalism, the short term is how we get there.
Well I wish them the worst of luck. Those doing this need to go back to the 1880s and see how that ended long term.
Isn’t this what industrialisation was always about?
This is a use case that hasn't yet been proven out, though. "Good enough" for an executive may not be "good enough" to keep the company solvent, and there's no shortage of private equity morons who have no understanding of their own assets.
I agree, but it's the bet they're making. You don't end up with trillions in investment and valuations with chatbots and meme video generators.
