    I think you already know the answer because you asked the question.

    The CEOs are the ones trying to convince everyone (investors really) that AI can replace humans to try to increase profits. That’s it.

    LLMs/AI are fantastic tools, but that’s all they are. Just tools. The CEOs are selling the AI revolution fantasy.

      They’re an entertainment technology, not a revolutionary business technology as they claim, so their maximum value is constrained by the boundaries of the entertainment market rather than being a significant fraction of the World’s Economy: basically they’ll at best have a Social Media Tech-sized Economic footprint, not an Industrial Revolution one.

      However, that shit was sold to investors as an Economic Revolution and the investment footprint is proportional to that prospect and thus way bigger than it would be for “this will be as big as Social Media”, and by now all that’s left to try and keep that massive block of investment from crushing the far too narrow columnn or returns, is ever more desperate spinning of hopes and dreams fables.

    Same reason religions demand you tithe but refuse to pay taxes, even though they don’t deny Christ said, “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and render unto God what is God’s,” which is to say, fulfil your obligations to the government before fulfilling your obligations to God.

        I remember people talking about DAO during the crypto hype. That’s quite curious that techbros didn’t try to revive the concept with gen ai

          The crypto bro’s whole premise is that other people’s computers are untrustworthy - the whole concept of a blockchain is that when someone declares a transaction, the other network members all verify its legitimacy by (at least) a simple majority.

          They’re not going to just let Sam Altman or Elon Musk pilot their DAO. That’s someone else’s computer running the show!

    Oh. Their job is harder to replace than some paltry programmer, who just copies code from SO anyway.

      Yes, their knowledge is locked behind the iron gates of ivy laden stone walls. Bestowed upon only for those whose Daddy’s could afford to unlock it. Mere intelligence, artificial or otherwise, simply couldn’t comprehend the 200x worker value they provide.

    That’s not really how it’s working out. What we’ll see more of are companies that are created using AI, where the people are basically working absolutely essential positions, while the AI handles most of the “executive” functions. The simple idea of AI coming in and “replacing” the CEO isn’t how it’s happening.

    When somebody insists that the food they made is good and that you should have some but refuses to eat it themselves, you know that they’re lying and the food is shit.

      oh hey, you were at the big family dinner last night.

      it was my mother’s turn to cook and she didn’t eat anything. there was enough food, just it was really, really bad.

      pro cooking tip for all y’all out there: never, and i do mean never, go into your spice cabinet and just grab seven random spices to season a dish. actually think about what you’re cooking.

      she made rice with garam masala and cream of tartar, dill, garlic, basil. like what the fuck.

    Lots of people are saying that AI isn’t that good, and that’s absolutely true.

    To your question though, AI has been doing better at running companies than CEOs.

    Who would’ve thought that the machine that’s great at making shit up and running with it would be good at the “job” of people that make shit up and run with it.

    While AI is not good, people seem to have forgotten the fact that CEOs are also not good…and are complete idiots.

      I keep reading “AI is better at doing … than the human” but I tried to code a simple HTML app and that fucker did a horrible job. I kept having to explain the same thing over and over and it kept giving me the wrong code. The company asked us to use this shit and I thought it would save me time… it took longer than if I just coded myself. For now my experience is not good

        My exact experience as well. Tasks that need precision and accuracy it does not do well. We have to babysit it.

      It’s a great demonstration of how what modern CEOs are really good at is bullshit rather than management.

    If AI was anywhere close to that good, they wouldn’t be encouraging the masses to use it, they would be hoarding access for their own benefit.
