AI6YR BenNext time someone asks me "why don't we just have the AI write the software" I will ask them "why don't we just have the AI do the management?" or "why don't we have the AI do product management?" or "why can't the AI be the CEO?"
BakersRelay@ai6yr My favorite would be “Why don’t we have AI do the sales and marketing campaigns and explain the product to our investors.”

In a lot of cases, this is the rare instance where the AI MIGHT do a better job. Of course, so might a D20 and some hit tables.

Fifty years ago, Stafford Beer demonstrated how, in a PROPERLY constructed enterprise, Kindergarten students are already quite capable of being CEO.
For those late to the cybernetics party, here's a link to a series of Massey Lectures by #StaffordBeer archived by, I know hard to believe today, our very own #CBC from back #whenwewasfab

The 1973 CBC Massey Lectures, "Designing Freedom" | CBC Radio
Distinguished cyberneticist Stafford Beer states the case for a new science of systems theory and cybernetics. His essays examine such issues as "The Real Threat to All We Hold Most Dear," "The Discarded Tools of Modern Man," "A Liberty Machine in Prototype," "Science in the Service of Man," "The Future That Can Be Demanded Now," "The Free Man in a...
iveyline@ai6yr If AI is so great why do we even need humans? Oh, I forgot. Because AI needs to steal human knowledge and creativity just to exist.
Unus NemoThe ones asking you that obviously have never seen the quality of AI code. AI is a good tool though I would never use it independently of human supervision.
Auntie Mame@ai6yr I work on the IP/legal side of advertising, and often the creatives want to use AI. I’ve asked them if they’re so creative, then CREATE, else what are the clients paying us for if they could use AI to do the same thing.
I hate that AI is being used in advertising. What a waste of resources and energy.
Neil Eriksson@ai6yr Really good perspective. I guess except for the CEO, (we) software engineers cost more than the managers? They’re going for the big fruit, not the low hanging?
Aethel@ai6yr i mean, its been done already :) https://www.businesstoday.in/technology/news/story/meet-mika-the-worlds-first-robot-ceo-and-she-has-a-message-for-elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-405453-2023-11-11 (edit for different source link, didnt want to link fox)
RejZoR@ai6yr They don't want Ai to replace the CEO. The CEOs want to replace everything with Ai so they can pocket even more cash. Because god forbid anyone else has rhe right to get paid for their work.
I just don't know who they will sell their expensive products to if no one can earn money because everyone but management will get replaced by Ai. Are they gonna sell all the iPhones to Ai?
@rejzor Yep, this is the motivation.
PeBo@ai6yr
Honestly, Mgmt is one of the rare use cases were AI will be way better than humans.
Neutral, no Emotions, always available ...... and last but not least, knowledge about what its saying.

Krahabors@ai6yr AI can't be held responsible for any mistakes, BUT it actually might be CEO easily, as those would always blame somebody else for any mistakes anyway :)
I AM BANKSY ☕ / 🗑🔥@ai6yr AI trained on random noise would be better than many tech and fintech company CEOs.
xorox@ai6yr Just let them use it for a while.
Zoe@ai6yr AI is the ceo in an increasing number of companies. That is one of does passive income scams people are running.
FiXato@ai6yr #VivaLaDirtLeague did a funny sketch about this a while back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCZt4mCcCV8
AI can do everyone's job now
@FiXato LOL precisely

@ai6yr Like the days when people suggested replacing staff with a computer.
Can it collect the donations from point A, and take Mrs X to her appointment, and bring the donations to the food bank, and look after the kids at the After School programme?
People are more useful than a computer or an AI (MML parrot)
Finerthanfroghair@ai6yr That might eliminate sexual bias and favoritism..?? (plus, AI works for peanuts. Spread those multi million dollar salaries around the work force)

Steve West-Fisher@ai6yr , I've experimented with ChatGPT a bit, and it's really very bad at writing code. At the time I also tried to have it write some emails to my staff, once again a big fail. However, more recently I needed to do an introductory email as the new Vermont BMW Airmarshal and it did a good job, even knowing what an Airhead was. I probably need to think up a new coding problem to test.

StarkRG@ai6yr Have AI write all the contracts and EULAs. There's no way that could go wrong.
Urzl@ai6yr The only full scale test to hit popular media was that one in Japan where the only role the LLM improved was executive management.
A machine with zero sense of right and wrong or true and false was better at executive management than most human executives.
If I were an exec, I might start questioning whether anything is on the right track if the ideal C-suite is an amoral and insane brain in a jar.

Don't worry, Telsa is making androids to replace farm workers, etc.
Optimus Grift. I'm sure they won't be built with mostly bad intentions.

mirabilos@ai6yr that’s the next step though
Feoh@ai6yr MMmmm. Breathe deep!
That's the delightful horse maneur like stank of late stage Capitalism!
The pointy haired bean counters have found a new tool they can apply to Increase Efficiency!
Good luck to us!
Fredrik Björeman@ai6yr The higher you go up the chain, the greater the risk (chance?) AI can do a convincing impression of replacing a human.
Zed Lopez@ai6yr I've thought for a while that creating corporate press releases would be the thing that most played to LLMs' strengths.
@ai6yr Sure of the last question is enough (and the better)
Custard Smingleigh@ai6yr
I used to build servers. My manager excitedly told me he was looking forward to the day when everyone he manages gets replaced with robots who won't complain or call in sick or argue back.
I asked him if he thinks they'll need him to manage the robots.
His face just froze in a way that indicated he hadn't thought that far ahead.
@Smingleigh This is exactly this video
Robby The Robot Replaces Mr. Whipple!
Марыля@ai6yr AI as a CEO is not that bad idea tho
