I've found numerous places to use generative AI in my business. None of the use cases involve laying people off. A large amount of the use cases are adding something new to the business to help us acheive something that wouldn't have been practical if we had to pay a person to do it. The next batch of it, is preloading a humans plate so they can do a quick verification, some small edits, and then off to the customer, allowing the subject matter experts to handle a higher volumes which directly relates to revenue. The 3rd set of use cases involve helping creative employees be more creative.

Not a single use case i've evaluated (and there's a bunch) will put anyone out of work. Might give us more room to hire more people frankly. At least in my business, and I supect my business i not unusual.

It's like the paperless office. Sure eventually AI might get good enough to replace people, but we'll probably just end up hiring more people in the middle since a person with AI can do so much more revenue generating work.
