I don’t know about AI exclusively, but I do believe that given the rise of automation in different industries and the prospect of AI and QC, in the future when robotics become more cost effective for companies they will most definitely go for that option.

The thing about automation is that if a company can go full robotics, they don’t have to worry about the downsides of human labor. Robots don’t need breaks, never complain about work, no need for HR, and after a period of time will pay for itself and become 100% profit without paying wage increases.

Worked with two guys and this was the joke they played on new guys. First guy acts like a hard ass towards second guy to make new guy think they’re not friends. 1st guy tells new guy that 2nd guy smells good. Keeps up the joke all day. Finally tells new guy “hey go ask 2nd guy what he’s got in that smells so good.”

Proceed with punchline of the joke.

Also works anytime a guy notices your cologne and you’re around the boys.
