I am watching completely non tech companies using AI to replace entire weeks of work and effort. The customer makes a phone call, and it is AI from the intake to discovery to documents to contract and negotiations to AI delivery to the notary. That work is a week of back and forth replaced with a few agents and $30/month.
Can you point to an example of this?
No its true, even in small businesses.
But they greatly, greatly overestimate people, that for the most part, are burnt out and have real life priorities that supercede monitoring whatever the fuck an agent swarm is. Obviously. Those people delegate to young people
The need for more compute, in the orders of many multiples in magnitude, is still needed before we even get anywhere near there. And the cost is still too high for what it is now, which is basically a science experiment after the first threshold of complexity.
Why even have an intermediary at that point if AI is doing everything, isn't the business itself doomed?
