AI replacing interviewers, UX research

Got cold emailed by another Ai companies today that's promising to replace entire department at my startup..

not sure any of you are in product management or ux research, but it's been a gong show in that industry lately.. just go to the relevant subreddit and you'll see.

These engineers do everything to avoid talking to users so they built an entire AI to talk to users, like look i get it. Talking to users are hard and it's a lot of work.. but it also makes companies seem more human.

I can't help but have the feeling that if AI can build and do "user research", how soon until they stop listening and build whatever they want?

At that point, will they even want to listen and build for us? I don't know, feeling kind of existential today.
