Yep. I'm retired now, but before retirement a month or so ago, I was working on a project that relied on several hundred people back in 2020. "Why can't AI do it?"
The people I worked with are continuing the research and putting it up against the human coders, but...there was definitely an element of "AI can do that, we won't need people" next time. I sincerely hope management listens to reason. Our decisions would lead to potentially firing people, so I think we were able to push back on the "AI can make all of these decisions"...for now.
The AI people were all in, they were ready to build an interface that told the human what the AI would recommend for each item. Errrm, no, that's not how an independent test works. We had to reel them back in.
This isn't really what you asked, but I feel the need to share my experience using an alternate layout.
I used to use the Dvorak layout - for several years, in fact, and I was pretty good with it. I switched back to Qwerty, because Dvorak just caused too many issues, especially at work, and any speed gains were lost in dealing with switching the layout for tech support and things like that. Sometimes they'd remote in and type, and it would translate their keypresses incorrectly.
Now I doubt they'd even let me switch the keyboard layout (a function they don't expect people to need, so they lock it out to reduce the chance of someone accidentally triggering it).
Qwerty does the job, I guess.
They settled with the family of that woman that disobeyed a direct lawfully given order from a cop, to the tune of millions of dollars.
So, yes, they absolutely will pay them. In fact, this is a "legal" way for the government to fund them.
