adjl 07/17/23 3:53:31 PM #50:	CyborgSage00x0 posted... The irony? You could easily make an A.I. that replaces CEOs and other middle management, and save hundreds of millions that way. It's be far easier than replacing artistic talent. Oddly, Bob Iger and their ilk aren't proposing that. Eeyup. CEOs and other executives are pretty close to the top of the list of jobs that could be replaced by AI, with massive cost savings both for the company itself and for governments that no longer had to put effort into fighting with entitled babies who want to bend the law for their own gain (there would be a need for additional oversight to ensure the AIs' rules were properly coded, but AIs don't break the rules you give them). Alas, it's CEOs and other executives that have the power to choose who gets replaced by AI, and they like their gold-plated gold too much to ever put themselves on the chopping block. Though, saying that, I'm genuinely expecting to move into an era where some CEOs do actually get replaced by an AI, complete with an AI-generated image of what a CEO looks like, but that's done in secret and the board and other higher-ups publicly identify this fictional person as the CEO while they siphon off what's ostensibly that person's salary. Then whenever the company gets in trouble, the board votes out the phantom CEO and "hires" a new one to placate the public, continuing business as usual with the free PR boost. CyborgSage00x0 posted... to be fair, an A.I. CEO would also likely conclude that replacing humans would be cheaper Probably, but AI CEOs would have no need for money, so right out of the gate they have less incentive to maximize the profit margin like that. Code them with the core goal of creating jobs (that thing billionaires are always bragging about doing) that pay a livable wage (which billionaires are always crying is impossible), and even though I'd expect to see some decisions made with ruthless, money-minded efficiency, there at least wouldn't be self-serving greed in there. --- This is my signature.
