I think some CEOs are probably okay with it costing more - that's less benefits to pay out, less PTO/sick days to deal with, and less labor concerns when you run your AI slop machine 24/7 instead of those pesky 40 hour work weeks.

AI will have to cost a lot more, or hurt the bottom line other ways (people stop buying your AI shit).

The 25% more figure includes all of these things. How else do you think they would make the comparison?
