That's a common pattern. Countless tasks don't get done because we don't have enough employees, nor the money to hire more. The current employees take care of all the crucial tasks that are basic necessities for the company to survive. The "nice to have" task list is very long, so if AI can take make some crucial tasks easier or faster, that only means that those employees can spend some of their time doing some of the "nice to have" tasks. In cases like these, AI is not taking any jobs from anyone. If your company has no entries in the "nice to have" task list, it means management has zero vision and zero chance of making the company survive the next recession.
