A new discussion highlights the potential for AI-driven job automation to inadvertently damage the market for AI products. The argument, sparked by a Reddit post, suggests that widespread job displacement and wage stagnation resulting from AI implementation could erode consumer spending power, ultimately shrinking the customer base for AI companies like OpenAI and Google. As fewer individuals hold well-paying jobs, demand for AI subscriptions and services may decline, creating an unforeseen economic headwind for the very companies driving the automation trend.
