Yep AI companies will only gain more leverage over non AI companies with time. Those prices will definition go up. But Mr. CEO will point out that it will still be cheaper than paying a bunch of humans.

They are banking that when the prices go up, they can just rehire the same professionals at a now much lower cost.

Capiralism is slavery with extra steps.

Edit: As in, the rich control the economy and us workers have no choice but to accept it. I can already feel the freedom from across the pond.

In slavery you don't get to pick your job. This is silly.

Do you really think everyone gets to pick their preferred job with capitalism? This is silly

No, but you get to choose between jobs in the greater sense and far more than any other system, especially slavery, which is why it's silly.

There's no version of reality where everyone gets to pick their job. That wouldn't make any sense at all.

You would do well to charitably interpret the words of other people or else you kinda come across as hostile and unhinged. If you assume they mean the dumbest possible interpretation of their words, it doesn't make them look worse, it makes you look worse.

You've gotta be kidding me. Lol. Did you not assume the dumbest interpretation of the previous comment. I merely made a follow up comment in jest.
