I agree that at the business contract level, it's more about sales and regulations than tech. But in my experience working close to minimum wage white-collar jobs, about 1 in 4 of my coworkers had automated most of their job with some unholy combination of VBScript, Excel wizardry, AutoHotKey, Selenium, and just a bit of basic Python sprinkled in; IT, security, and privacy concerns notwithstanding. Some were even dedicated enough to pay small amounts out-of-pocket for certain tools.I'd bet that until we get the risks whittled down enough for larger organizations to adopt this on a wide scale, the biggest user group for AI automation tools will be at the level of individual workers who are eager to streamline their own tasks and aren't paid enough to care about those same risks.
