There’s something that feels overlooked in the whole “AI will cut costs and boost profits” narrative. If AI replaces a large number of jobs, that doesn’t just reduce expenses — it also reduces the number of people with disposable income. And if fewer people have money to spend, consumer demand drops. But consumer spending is what drives revenue in the first place. At some point, the system starts working against itself. I’m not saying AI won’t increase efficiency — it clearly will. But it seems too simplistic to assume companies can just replace labor at scale without broader economic consequences. Curious how others think this plays out long-term. submitted by /u/dudeman209
