In this scenario the person who wants to be paid owns the output of the agent. So it’s closer to a contractor and subcontractor arrangement than employment.
1. They built the agent and it's somehow competitive. If so, they shouldn't just replace their own job with it, they should replace a lot more jobs and get a lot more rich than one salary.
2. They rent the agent. If so, why would the renting company not rent directly to their boss, maybe even at a business premium?
I see no scenario where there's an "agent to do my work while I keep getting a paycheck."
How do they own it? I see two scenarios.
