    1. “Unshackle” AI companies to create true AI
    2. True AI comes up with excellent idea on how to beat climate change and maybe even a plan to bring peace to the world
    3. CEOs simply say the AI’s plan would be too costly and would inhibit the work culture of their companies which would be a terrible thing to happen, won’t implement anything
    4. From this point forward, CEO’s use taxpayer subsidized true AI to more effectively sell shit to people, and nothing else
    5. ???
    6. PROFIT!

      Pretty much.

      AI: You don’t have to use plastic! Silicone, graphite, ceramics, glass, woods, and aluminum can all be used as substitutes and often have more desirable physical properties for specific applications.

      CEO: I hear you, I really do, but scientists already recommended this and we’ve already done numerous analyses that have all concluded that it’d be too costly to implement and would leave us with products that aren’t competitive.

      CEO: …Could you figure out how to increase our gross margins by suggesting changes to these designs?

      AI: Sure! We can start by replacing those braze-on threaded nuts with a plastic clamp. I suppose that lag bolt could be plastic as well.
