I get the sentiment but do you really want to spend your workday taking orders from an AI? maybe instead we can elect leaders in our companies who are real people and not exploitive monsters

    do you really want to spend your workday taking orders from an AI?

    Probably depends on the work I'm doing and the AI itself.

    I'd have no problem implementing AI driven solutions as long as they made sense and were good - honestly I might even have more respect for the AI than the CEO. At least one of them isn't pretending to be a morally upstanding member of society.

    That is a crazy stance to take. It's like saying you prefer Beezelbub over Satan. I mean, you want to give your self-agency over to a machine? Really?

    I didn't say I have to listen to it anymore than I listen to a human.

    I mean I'd rather not give my self agency away at all but almost all of us proletariat do on some level since we're wage slaves. I don't really care if it's an AI or a human CEO when it comes down to it they're interchangeable except one probably just is an intermediary between the AI and you at this rate where execs are slobbering over AI and eating up tech bro lies like candy. CEO probably just asking the AI anyways and saying what it says.

    Yes it's a wildly myopic view, and I'm being a little tongue in cheek, but in all reality I genuinely think executives are almost all dead weight once you get high enough in an org but your opinion may differ.

    So yeah doesn't really matter to me if the master is silicon or flesh if the result is all the same.

    Sure, I mean the wide array of shitty execs we have nowadays certainly. But a strong project leader with the backing of the organization they lead is a powerful combination and I don't discount it when I think about how things should be run.

    In other words, I do think it's a good idea to have an especially qualified person "in charge" of getting shit done, but our current system of capitalist self-enrichment only works in a "broken clock is right twice a day" sorta way.
