The thing is, AI is not a person, it's a tool. We are CHOOSING to let the disastrous situation in your post above to develop. At some point, doesn't management say

our project is all fucked up because AI wouldn't allow us to use the suppliers we used to use. Or our sales are down because our customers all changed their business model and went out of business a year later.
I have always thought that AI won't eliminate jobs because somebody has to tell AI what to do, and then somebody has to interpret what AI is saying. In all prior technological advancement periods, jobs are usually not lost but rearranged. The problem is that usually things like mainframes or PCs or the internet changed work, and then the companies responded by reallocating resources. Layoffs yes but they were already rehiring for new roles. This time, companies are not responding. They are cutting first and letting the chips fall. They are not allowing the natural change to occur and then responding. Everything is short term and designed to line their pockets.
But I think what I am saying will eventually be true. Companies will need to hire to guide and interpret AI and fix the broken system. Maybe we need to go through the pain first. Because the work world you are describing won't work. Somebody is going to pick the wrong supplier and the project will fail.
Back to the board
