First of all, I don't accept a discussion where humans are placed on the same level as bots or agents. Even if the cost is the same, humans MUST be the choice. They have emotions, families, sons and daughters, they are a what makes society a society. And yet we've been already instructed and hypnotized by the Altmans and Musks and Bezos to only see it through the lens of profit and revenue.
That said, is what you're suggesting even happening? Because certainly that is not what we're hearing from companies that fucked up their budgets with AI tools. Also, trillion dollars valuations are really justified by random solo-devs creating automatic companies of one that could be companies of four? Because what I hear from the AI-accelerationist is "this technology creates productivity gains for each and every company by enabling automation at scale that would make replacing human profitable". Where is THAT?
