Imagine your paycheck is half what it should be because of AI.

If that were to happen it won't be due to AI, it would be them using AI as a scapegoat.
Because they would definitely make sure to add a check to make sure I didn't get more than that.
Even if they replace you with AI, they will make sure to call you back and pay you 10x your time for that 1 thing.

The company doing the payroll software isn't the company paying you though

I was thinking about payment processors and banks.
They might debit more from the payer's account and credit less to the payee's account and that way at the end of the FY, they will have this happy coincidence of having higher than anticipated credit from the Reserve Bank.
