And this is all due to them laying off the people who knew how to work things, incl. the AI systems.

I suspect most of these companies will now try to re-hire about half their staff, and let them use the AI systems to increase productivity.

The truly sad part is that the useless middle managers responsible for the layoffs AND the huge bills (because they really thought they can just talk to the AI like they'd talk to a skilled and domain knowledgeable employee, using 10-50x more tokens than anyone with actual knowledge would) will face no repercussions. They won't be fired because they're "too important" for the company, because they "delivered so much value" (when in reality it was those fired who delivered the value and all this middle manager did was delegate shit, something an appropriately tuned AI system could do at a fraction of the cost!), and some other corpo bullshit.

And thus nobody will learn from this at all.

and let them use the AI systems to increase productivity.

This sounds exactly like a solution from a useless middle-manager. Keep the faith.
