Replacing your workers with AI:

--You lose control over their "salary"

--You lose control over their "schedule"

--Your company becomes reliant on another party that does not share your interests or values, and can stop working for you on a whim for any reason

But AI is definitely good and trade unions are definitely bad, apparently...

That's the same as human workers. In both cases there are contracts/money to help align interests

Exactly, the principal-agent problem applies to all agents, be they human, corporate, or robotic
If only there was a way to think beyond direct substitution.
