Companies are *already* quietly hiring people to come in and clean up the digital asbestos that is "AI" slop, or re-hiring the same folk (who did the actual work) that managers and CEOs ditched with surpassing cruelty.
Please, if you're a consultant or getting re-hired, MAKE THEM PAY.
"AI" hasn't persisted solely because it fooled rich people who don't like being told "no". It also had significant potential for union-busting, and producing economic uncertainty in order to achieve the Wealthy Sociopath Holy Grail of a permanent serf underclass to be abused at will.
Anyway, if you're being courted to come back to a place that fired you (or other people) with a "haw haw, the thieving slopbot'll do yer job, loser!", hold out for good benefits and make them fucking PAY. Don't let them call you in on piecework rates for what used to be a good-paying job.
