The Hidden Cost of AI: Double Spending

[etfs]

Companies are learning the hard way that AI isn’t “free labor.”

They now pay for:
1️⃣ AI tools
2️⃣ Human experts to fix the AI output
3️⃣ Lost time from rework
4️⃣ Lower-quality drafts

Carstens says some “AI logos” take longer to fix than creating a new design.
Richardson says rewriting AI drafts requires full research and heavy editing.
Kumar says AI-generated code can create major security risks.

Automation without oversight isn’t cost-saving — it’s costly.
