The reveal came as SAG-AFTRA actors confirmed they were going on strike.
This is true. I work in a related field, and my company and almost all of its clients are falling over themselves trying to identify what can be already replaced with AI.
Systematically processes are being broken down to identify activities that are “cognitive” are can be done by AI, with the goal of eventually replacing the human workers with AI almost entirely for those tasks. All these companies, including mine, are super profitable for most part but that is apparently not enough, and everyone fears being left behind and their share price tanking if they don’t adopt AI too. So there’s a mad rush to get it done everywhere.
You should expect this, and we’re all the problem.
Most humans are inherently lazy, and corporations exist to make as much profit as possible. If they don’t embrace AI, their competitor will, and their competitor will crush them because they will have lower costs and humans in general tend to care more about price than ethical concerns (see clothing production).
“Most humans are inherently lazy.” Do you have any scientific data to back up what appears to be a heroically sweeping generality?
Ironically management could really be done by an ai well. AI is amazing at time management and keeping its feelings in check, bad managers tend to be poor at time management and have a hard time not letting their personal beliefs seep into their work.
I wish that I was that optimistic. The data AI:s are trained on can be just as faulty causing them to have “personal beliefs seep in”…
