One-tenth the cost, ten times the output. What takes a human an hour, AI finishes in three seconds. In this wave of inflation and wage hikes, Generative AI and DX are the only surfboards that will keep you afloat." Those clinging to the 'good old days' of management will drown. Only those who seize the wings of AI will soar above the turbulence.
