We haven’t fully proven that it is any different. Not at scale anyway. It took a decade for the seams of outsourcing to break.
But I have a hypothesis.
The quality of the output, when you don’t own the long term outcome or maintenance, is very poor.
This is not the case with AI in the same sense it is with human contractors.
