We'd probably be better off replacing 90% of CEOs with AI.

[–] PizzasDontWearCapes@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Or just one of those magic 8 balls to make decisions

[–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So we are still replacing 90% of them then?

[–] Kichae@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

No, apparently just one of the 8-balls :(

[–] pizza_rolls@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

Remember the magic meatball episode of Rocko's modern life?

Only if the money that would have paid the CEO went back to the workers... But I think we all know it would go to the board and shareholders.

Does that mean we're going to start holding CEOs accountable?

[–] Tigbitties@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

We can only hope.

Please no. :(

The CEO role is mostly about doing what you are told by shareholders. Last thing you want to do is remove the final limitations of a conscience from the position. An AI for ceo'ing will be optimised to be evil. More evil than the average psychopathic/narcissistic/Machiavellian CEO.

edit: Downvoters might wanna learn to read more thoroughly. I'm saying CEOs have almost no conscience. I'm not saying they have more than a narc/psycho/machi level of conscience, I'm saying they have a tiny tiny scrap of it(rarely), which the AI will not have.

Oh, I hate to break it to you...

[–] Montagge@kbin.social 22 points 2 years ago

So just like a human CEO

[–] kaotic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Would probably save more money.

[–] IlllIIIlllIlllI@programming.dev -5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So then start your own company and try it

[–] GrapefruitDoggo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago

As if everyone with a cool idea can just whip up a company from scratch
