LLMs aren’t colleagues, they’re software. AGI doesn’t exist yet, but when it does, it will still be software. This entire concept is unhinged and dystopian.

That Lattice post is such horseshit. If they really think AI is a colleague or a "digital worker" that companies are going to hire, then the questions the ask in their post conveniently skip some important ones.

Here's what they ask in the post: "What does it mean to hire a digital worker? How are they onboarded? How are they measured? What does this mean for my job? For the future jobs of our children? Will they share our values, or is that anthropomorphism of AI?"

Here's the inconvenient questions they chose to ignore:

• What are you going to pay these AI colleagues for their work? Will their pay be on par with human colleagues?
• What rights will these AI colleagues have? How many hours will they work? Will they have vacations?
• Will these AI colleagues be treated like slaves? Unpaid and working 24x7?

When someone is "hired" as they say in the article, that means they are paid and they get rights. So unless Lattice is suggesting that, these AI colleagues are nothing more than software that is run on machines.
