This doesn't scare me at all. Most companies strive to stay as profitable as possible and if a 1+1 calculation costs a company more money by using AI to do it, they'll find a cheaper way

This sounds like easy math, but AI doesn't use more or less energy. It's stated goal is to replace people. People have a much, much more complicated cost formula full of subjective measures. An AI doesn't need health insurance. An AI doesn't make public comments on social media that might reflect poorly on your company. An AI won't organize and demand a wage increase. An AI won't sue you for wrongful termination. An AI can be held responsible for a problem and it can be written off as "growing pains".

How long will the "potential" of the potential benefits encourage adopters to give it a little more time? How much damage will it do in the meantime?
