    1. Build up reliance on AI, which looks really cheap
    2. You can now replace employees with AI so fire away!
    3. You are now completely dependent on AI and a handful of employees
    4. AI company sees they have you and start jacking up rates. If you could afford paying for people before then you have the $ to pay high rates.
    5. Company now wonders why costs are back to where they were before and the AI isn’t working out as expected.

      It’s particularly funny because I’m pretty sure AI companies are still selling the service below cost to try to retain market share (and drive small competitors out of business). They just aren’t taking quite as big a loss on every token with the increased prices.
