The thing is if you look at why that is who are pulling the levers to make these decisions.  I mean all of these scheduling and queuing systems seem to be an artifact of businesses trying to be more efficient and shifting the work on to the consumer.  We only have to go cups, you'll have to find somewhere else to sit, because we don't provide seating anymore...  Do you think that AI will move the needle the right way here?  I can imagine a dystopian scenario where project managers harness AI to generate more busy work of less quality work faster for example.

The general concept here is "point shaving".  Take Starbucks for example, highly automated highly optimized.  It used to resemble a coffee shop, now it's like a McDonald's.  They did this to shave a penny here, shave a penny there.  Now the product doesn't resemble a coffee shop anymore, and I don't have anywhere to go hang out and talk with my friends.  I have to get these togo cups so that I can take my coffee back to my desk so I can work harder so that I can afford a $5 cup of coffee.

See where this is going.  These were all giant equations that corporations optimized to make the largest profit.  AI is a giant equation that corporations optimized... to do what again?  Oh yeah, suck profits out.[/quote]

Starbucks built their business based on the “third space” their coffee always sucked. [/quote]
