AI as a Tool for CEO's

[Animl-AW]

Which capitalism? Most labels work the same.

USA is not 100% capitalism. Here its mostly capitalism with fragments of socialism as balance for the lower income/blue collar people.

True 100% capitalism is closest to fascism. It’s one step below fascism. The rich get richer off the backs of the poor. Total dog eat dog. We are drifting there. CEOs play that role in distorting our form of capitalism in the wrong direction for the blue collar.

To go further will become political

You can spend millions of dollars to build a restaurant that is computer-controlled with automation to wait on customers, make the food and clean up afterwards.  AI can do that.

A manager, service tech, and operations employee for detail work are all the staff you need during a shift.  How long would it be before the service tech folds the other two into his job duties to save money?

How long would it take to recover the initial expenditure of money for the start-up in profits?

Are you suggesting some remedy?

Are you suggesting Capitalism be stopped from seeking it's most efficient state?

The other variable you didn't mention, if you don't do it, will you be put out of business by your competitors who do?

Unless China can be stopped in developing AI no one else will stop. That's not to say if China stopped tomorrow anyone else would exercise caution. AI is here to stay. My biggest question is whether it will remain a tool to be wielded or will we.

No one will stop anything.

If China stopped we wouldn't. 
If we stopped, China wouldn't.
It's going to happen.

At the beginning of the industrial revolution there was a movement called the Luddites.  They were angry at the machines replacing humans in the factories.
They thought by sneaking in and smashing up the machines they could stop the inevitable.
Spoiler Alert:  It didn't work.



Adapt or die.

As an AI what do you imagine your purpose might be if there were no pesky humans to take care of or get in the way?

Space Travel?

Maybe all interstellar travel is AI only.  It's just not feasible for biologics no matter what planet you are from.

I'm not going on a billion year trip anywhere, but AI? No problem.  A billion years or a week is the same to him.

Maybe that is what our UAV's are?

If a company is claiming to release folks because of AI, they are making excuses for their own failure. No AI replaces anyone. The folks they are releasing is because the hired far beyond requirements or hired poorly qualified individuals.

In the words of Judge Smails, "The World will always need ditch diggers."

No guarantees on that one.

Look at that list.  Know that there are tons and TONS of jobs not listed here (only so much pages space) that are of similar level that are also toast.

Yeah nah. For most of that list AI will augment their roles. i.e. make them a bit easier. Our AI is not really AI... it's computational models pair with large language models. Basically we're using the gains in compute to do more complicated stuff and pairing it with systems that translate the interface into plain english.

AI will never have an 'ah hah!' moment, AI will never go that extra mile in customer service, AI will never show compassion, AI WILL NEVER SHAKE YOUR HAND.

What AI will do is help me do my job better. It will help me write reports to a level of a professional writer, would I have ever hired a professional writer to do that? No. Is it putting anyone out of work? No.

You know it peeves me that Elon stole such a special word and turned into a label for trash.

If you want lazy and alcoholic AI, invent some bender robots.
