It's human toll everywhere. AI used for peer review effectively forces researchers to implement suggestions between revisions, AI used by managers suggest bad solutions that engineers are forced to implement, etc. Effectively, the number of person-hours that is spent following whatever AI models suggest is increasing rapidly. Some of it might make sense, but uncomfortably many hours are burned in vain. There is a real cost of lost productivity in the economy by command chains not being ready to filter out slop.
