AI is not perfect, but people often use it not because they are entirely satisfied with its output, but because it offers free or low-cost services that significantly lower barriers to entry. 

For example, Wix provides a free, AI-powered website builder that can create sites quickly, even if the results aren’t flawless. This has led to an increase in AI-assisted portfolio creation, helping many individuals who are starting their own businesses or freelance careers launch professional-looking websites with minimal effort. In contrast, traditional website builders and freelancers are experiencing a decline in contracts for simple projects.

Many media outlets have started using AI in a temporary or supplementary capacity because they cannot afford to hire more employees due to current budget constraints. 

These examples show that AI is not yet fully replacing humans on a large scale. Instead, financial pressures and economic caution are the main drivers behind its rapid adoption, as companies seek affordable, accessible tools to maintain productivity without expanding their workforce.

Reports indicate that the majority of employers already regret layoffs related to AI. So, there is a strong possibility that once the economy improves, humans will reclaim their roles across various industries while AI continues to serve as a helpful assistant.
