So it sounds like that company has a whole lot of dead weight that they either need to convince to care about the company's success, or just replace them with AI.

Why do I get the feeling millions of people are going to start losing their jobs over this in the next few years?

Because that's what's going to happen.

I don't think they'll be directly replaced with AI though. Instead the company they work for will go bankrupt because they can't compete with competitors who figure out how to improve productivity using AI.
