Life is a full circle.

AI isn’t replacing humans, it’s exposing where human + AI collaboration works better than AI alone. Cost, context, and execution still matter more than hype. 🚀

Very relevant perspective — AI creates the most value when it augments skilled people, not when it’s treated as a blanket replacement strategy.

AI is not cheap labor. It is leverage. But leverage only works if the workflow is designed well. If every engineer runs agents on every task without cost control, context, review, and clear ownership, the bill will explode. So I think it is not “AI vs humans”. I think the key q-n we should ask is: where does AI improve output per dollar?

I agree that AI is expensive, but AI can not replace the human why because we need humans for authorization and final decision for security standards. We can not do anything fully automated othervise we loss the thing.

AI is transforming work, but the hype ignored one reality: scale without economics breaks fast. The winners won’t be companies replacing humans blindly, but those using AI to amplify skilled teams, control costs, and solve high-value problems sustainably.

But the benefits and profit it will generate. Will be far richer then anything else.

Now it's time to replace AI with human intelligence again😂

What a great realisation!!

Well written

The layoffs are not solely because of AI. AI exposed the problems already exists in the system. Layoffs are labelled as AI layoffs. You see when task is done 5-10 times faster with the help of AI tools, then it can't be totally unreal.

Great insights SAURABH SINGH! The current unit economics are definitely a reality check. However, do you think this is a permanent ceiling or just the "dial-up" phase of AI pricing? I'm curious when infrastructure costs might mature and drop enough to flip that 23% MIT metric.

Prashant K. Sahni  Honestly one of the sharper takes in this thread. AI did not create the inefficiency, it just made it visible and gave companies a cleaner narrative to act on it.

Muskan Gupta  Skilled people with AI move faster. AI without skilled people just moves expensively.

Ayush Ranjan Soni  Authorization, accountability, and final call still sit with humans. The companies learning this the expensive way are just paying for a lesson that was always true.

The long-term winners in AI may not be the companies using the most AI, but the ones applying it selectively where the economics genuinely make sense.

Sunn k bahut sukun mila bhai 😬😃

Mr. Huang is the guy who is mainly responsible for it to become so costly....

Then why every week new company is firing ??

Turns out replacing salaries with token bills isn’t the cost hack everyone thought. AI is a multiplier, not a replacement. Use it to make engineers 3x faster, not to fire them and hope the API covers the gap.
