About AI vs Hire
Comparing an AI tool against a person on the same basis, including the parts nobody costs
What is on this site
One question, "ai vs hire", answered with a calculator that works on the page with no account, 3 guides on the questions around it, a data table you can cite (the figures and their method), and the sources every figure rests on.
- What a hire actually costs, beyond salary: Employer costs, equipment, recruitment and management time. Why a role rarely costs anything close to its salary.
- The work where the comparison is not about money: Novel situations, accountability, relationships and judgement. Where a tool fails in ways that are expensive rather than obvious.
- The usual answer is both, structured properly: Most successful deployments augment a person rather than replacing one. How to structure that so it actually saves anything.
