If everyone is replacing low level jobs with AI in order to pump next quarters numbers, they are gonna be fucked in 5-10 years when there is a skilled labour shortage - those very skills learned and developed while doing the lower level jobs.
This is a gargantuan gamble on AI being able to progressively replace more an more complicated jobs, and stay in line with this curve as the skill ages out of the population.
Oh, and nobody will be able to pay for the services provided by these companies because nobody will have money because they can't get jobs because all the low skill jobs are done by AI, and nobody can develop skills because there is no entry to industries/careers via low skilled jobs.
Replacing jobs with AI is so fucking stupid.
AI can't even replace entry level jobs. Any company that tries is going to fall flat on its face.
AI could replace CEO's.
Arguably, AI could replace CEOs more effectively than any other position in the company.
A CEO is a person who reaches confident, decisive conclusions, ideally using a bunch of available data. Their process can be a mystery and they can easily be wrong and harm/destroy the company. But they are confident, damn it.
An AI chatbot could do that shit! Hell, you could have it summarize the academic business literature on your subject and the results of similar initiatives at other companies. You world probably do better on average than human CEOs, lol.
It’s not like replacing the workers who have to produce output that’s actually correct.
