Executives are adopting AI at higher rates than employees, study says

Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

@GossiTheDog Says a lot about executive work, doesn't it?

@icing @GossiTheDog

"you should bring value to the company"

@icing @GossiTheDog the fact that they are all white men is an added joke.
@icing @GossiTheDog Yeah, pretty easy way to determine if you are doing one of Graeber’s Bullshit Jobs, if an LLM could plausibly replace much of your work.
@GossiTheDog
BS-generators had to be good for /something/

@hakona @GossiTheDog

It's long been obvious that LLMs are better suited to replace people at some jobs than others. πŸ™„

@GossiTheDog β€œThe executives surveyed were also far more likely than the rest of the respondents to say they would have chosen a different career path had they known how AI would impact their role. The authors of the Dayforce report called that a warning sign, saying it raises the question of where executives' AI agenda is leading.”

@GossiTheDog I thought for a long time that those were the jobs that could most easily be replaced by AIs, and produce the most cost savings.

CEO and LLM:
--Tell you what they think you want to hear;
--Don't know what they are talking about; and
--Do not care if it is true or not.

Replacing the C-suite with LLMs would be a net social benefit and save companies a ton of money.

@GossiTheDog every single one of these damn write-ups are like "Here is a thing that obviously shows problems with the tech, that people don't want it, and that it is not the panacea it's being pitched as. So anyway, here's how we think you can focus only on the symptom and still try to ram it through."

@hugo @GossiTheDog yeah, that last paragraph is dogshit:

Overall, the study concludes that leaders are racing to adopt AI at a faster clip than any previous technology shift, while the rest of the workforce struggles to keep up. To generate a return on their investment in AI, Dayforce said executives need to bring their managers and workers along for the ride, with training and by channeling their AI enthusiasm toward strategic use cases.

I'm not struggling to keep up. I'm actively doing everything I can to educate my managers and peers that AI is a fascist project which exists to precaritise workers.

@GossiTheDog ok so let's replace the exacutives.
@GossiTheDog Hmmm, people whose work does not require precision and who are largely unaccountable for the quality of thier work are the leading users of AI/LLMs.
This is my shocked face: πŸ˜‘
@GossiTheDog that means that executives are more easily replaceable by LLMs than workers
