But ceos want their workers to use more AI

"You're right to ask, boss. When I said I was using AI to get work done, I was doing neither and just simulating using AI in my mind as I napped under my desk."

Honestly, this is a win-win. I can just lie and say the AI is working on it, and work my second job in the meantime. Boss gets to tell the execs we're using AI and I get twice as much money.

We can unite with the AI against the CEOs

No they want AI instead of workers. AI doesn’t need health insurance or PTO.

They want AI so the few tasks they can't automate away have their productivity scored against a fast "intelligence", so they can browbeat the actual worker down on their wages.
