I love a good thought experiment and as I’m ambivalent about HR through experience I like this one. However in your financial calculation you leave out what it cost (tens if not hundreds of millions) to train the model. I also know those costs are opaque at best and decline with use, but still.

That's a valid point; it's incredibly expensive to train the models, and I'm only considering pure API costs.

Fair enough. Considering the whole chain has to end somewhere. Something I’m confronted with daily. Can’t always include everything in the chain, especially not when, in the case of genai, the chain keeps changing size, shape and length three times a day.

Great thought exercise. The most interesting part isn't if you could replace all HRBPs, but some and have them work with AI. I feel like I leverage this a lot as an independent HR consultant. AI helps me get to solutions much quicker for my clients and allows me to do a lot of work in a short amount of time - which is the point, right?

It could be the point! However, I suppose that is also what I'm after, to some extent. Even if we could automate all with AI, would we want to? :)
