It wouldn't have been without AI. They believe telling them to use AI is cheaper.
Huh? The tech industry has outsourced to India every few years, it backfires, and yet they still don't learn lol
It's different this time because previously, the folks in India didn't know anything, the execs here believe they can fire people with years of experience and replace them with Indian techs using AI and be just as good.
It will still blow up in 1-2 years, but that's the idea for now.
