The AI cost is going to create a new excuse for mass layoffs

So everyone always talks about the scenario where for example a CEO fires 3 out of 5 devs because the remaining 2 can just use AI to do the same amount of work. When that happens, people get pissed because it’s obvious corporate greed. You’re firing people just to make profit by not having to pay those extra devs, not because you can't afford them. But I’ve been thinking about a different angle that’s way messed up and likely where we are heading soon. Just recently, I've read about companies that had monthly AI bills get into millions of dollars.
