The Human Element
If you're like most you're tapped out with AI. Yes, it's great. Yes, it's the best thing since sliced bread and Betty White. BUT! It's taken my job, or it's cost my company money. I want to know how we got here...

The cost of AI
There is a monatry aspect to AI and it's kind of like a loaf of bread. Not many people know the exact number of slices a loaf will get you, but, you can get upwards of four portions of one sandwich made from two slices, or one portion from three slices.
