You Just Hired a Million Bad Employees
TLDR ● Covered by 3 sources
Companies are deploying AI agents without proper management frameworks, creating wasteful "loops" where poorly-trained employees use AI inefficiently to compensate for unclear processes. The vast majority of token spend produces no value, mirroring how 80% of traditional employees often perform no meaningful business function. The key to unlocking AI value lies in building rigorous evaluation systems and AI transformation services that encode each firm's specific processes into measurable outputs, similar to how coding became the only breakout AI use case because code either runs or fails.
Why it matters
AI has created more jobs than it eliminated, as humans are now cheaper than software for the first time in history. Rather than replacing human labor, AI is driving increased employment needs.
