We saw this happen in Amazon's cashier-less stores. They were actively trying to use a computer based AI system but it didn't work without thousands of man hours from real humans which is why those stores are going away. Companies will try this repeatedly til they get something that does work or run out of money. The problem is, some companies have cash to burn.

I doubt the vast majority of tech workers will be replaced by AI any time soon. But they'll probably keep trying because they really really don't want to pay human beings a liveable wage.
