Conclusion
The ideal moneysaver scenario is to simply get rid of bad managers. Period. I'm pretty sure most teams will survive well enough on their own, without being bothered by corporate human drones. In the worse case, they will do just as equally badly as if they were managed by a clueless chump. Most likely, they will cause far less damage. After all, if a workplace wants to be leet, they can use AI to cause damage. Profit!
On a serious note, if you ask me, AI will have its uses. But mostly in non-human-facing functions. Anything that relies on random human interaction, nope. For that matter, AI is a much better candidate for replacing software development than any "soft" skill in the office - not that most soft-skill jobs are needed to begin with. But hey. We're a long way from true general AI. Until then, we can play silly games.
I think there's no harm in trying to use AI as a replacement for bad management. What's the worst that can happen? A project will run way beyond budget and schedule, full of problems, people will quit, and there will be bugs discovered in the production environment necessitating scramble-everyone all-hands-on-deck nonsense posturing? Oh, that's already happening with humans. So why not, give machines a chance. Maybe they will learn how to be us.
