How much compute costs is it for the AI to do Brenda's job? Not total AI spend, but the fraction that replaced Brenda. That's why they'd fire a human but keep using the AI.

Brenda has been kissed on her forehead by the Excel goddess herself. She is irreplaceable.

(More seriously, she also has 20+ years of institutional knowledge about how the company works, none of which has ever been captured anywhere else.)

It's not just compute, its also the setup costs - How much did you have to pay someone to feed the AI Brenda's decades of knowledge specific to her company and all the little special cases of how it does business.
