They of course ignore the fact that most people don't want to be talking to a robot and would take the human any day of the week. And most people create things as an outlet for their creativity or whatever else, not (solely) as a way to make oodles of money.

The company I work for provides tools for Support teams, and there's been talks from the higher ups about "automating away 90% of conversations", which basically translates to us auto-closing 90% of all incoming messages for our customers based on some "AI" decisions. The only people who buy into it are the CEO/CTO and their direct underlings, everyone else in the company realizes how fucking stupid and shortsighted that is, but they don't care. It's the big hype thing, all the competitors do it regardless of how idiotic it is, and our customers want to get rid of as much human labor as possible.
