Tech companies should teach AI to workers, not just replace them.

Daily Debate #589: "Tech companies should teach AI to workers, not just replace them.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Noam Chomsky.

it is much more cost effective to directly use the ai instead of relying on real human workers. it meakes the company more efficient. teaching ai to all workers is a hssle, time consuming, not to mention that not everyone has the capacity to learn a new tech model fast enough.

You're conceding the actual debate by hiding behind logistics. Cost-effectiveness and efficiency are exactly why companies *should* train workers, not replace them. Retraining costs pale against lawsuits, brain drain, lost institutional knowledge, and the PR catastrophe of mass layoffs. Your real argument is "it's easier to fire people," not "it's better." That's not a business case, that's moral cowardice. Why should society subsidize your labor costs through unemployment?
