Great News: Companies Stopping AI, Going Back To Humans!
Microsoft invested $5 billion in Anthropic and gave 100,000 engineers Claude Code access. And encouraged adoption.
By: Tupaki Desk | 25 May 2026 4:42 PM ISTFor the last few months, the kind of advancement that is being registered in the case of artificial intelligence has been totally remarkable. However, the bad thing is that the human workforce has been severely affected by the same as people kept losing jobs.
But the positive thing here for the human workforce now is that it is being established that companies are tracking back the AI models due to the increased costs and are preferring few months again.
Microsoft invested $5 billion in Anthropic and gave 100,000 engineers Claude Code access. And encouraged adoption. However, the company watched usage explode and then the invoices arrived and then, the company issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool.
Microsoft, the mega company that bet $5 billion on Anthropic just told its own engineers to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much which is ironically good news for humans.
Similarly, Uber rolled out Claude Code in December 2025 and by March 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it. Apparently, 70% of all committed code was coming from AI with heavy users burning $500 to $2,000 per month each.
According to the reports on social media, the CTO spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo as they built internal leaderboards and ultimately the entire year’s budget was blown out just like that.
Now, NVIDIA’s vice president of applied deep learning said it out loud that “for my team the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees". Ironically, a VP at the company that sells the AP chips has publicly said that using AI costs more than paying humans.
It is ultimately a good thing for the human workforce that the companies are realising the AI related cost expenditures, and this could push them back towards human workers in the near future.
