Historically, corporations and billionaires outsourced (and still do) their operations to drive costs down and increase profits. But now, when any kind of work can be done by AI, it simply drives the cost of labor down even further.

Workers worldwide have lost their bargaining power because decades of experience can now be replaced with a chatbot.
