A more interesting “bear case” for AI is that, if you look at the list of industries that leading AIs like GPT-4 are capable of disrupting—and therefore making money off of—the list is lackluster from a return-on-investment perspective, because the industries themselves are not very lucrative. What are AIs of the GPT-4 generation best at? It’s things like:

writing essays or short fictions

digital art

chatting

programming assistance

    The fucking antiwork crowd is insufferable and intellectually dishonest. Be better. This is such a sad comment.

      Why? Why can an AI not replace a CEO? And why has CEO compensation risen, while average worker compensation dropped, all while worker output has increased over the past decades? That seems like simple math, that the money isn’t going to who it should be going to and is just going to management and investors because they make the rules

        The issue you’re speaking about is an issue of oligopoles and giant businesses, not ceos and management. It’s a breakdown of economic principles, namely, supply and demand of labor, due to oligopoles.

          And giant businesses and oligopolies are led by… who exactly? Sure, you can say “not all CEOs” but still, too many CEOs.

          I do appreciate the added nuance and more accuracy tho.

            There are thousands of unproblmatic ceos to every problematic ceo.

            You issue is with the top couple hundred businesses. There are literally 100s of thousands of ceos, managers, and leadership individuals who are not part of the problem. Look at the responses here. This group think mob would have you believe every single ceo is Satan.

                Just go look up how many businesses there are in America. You can do some rough math based on that, shouldn’t be too hard. It’s amazing you call me a bootlicker over pretty tame comments that really shouldn’t be controversial. You antiwork folk really hate every business owner no matter what, don’t ya?

                  As a business owner myself, I now know you’re even more full of shit than I knew before. Well done.

      You’re a useful idiot for the billionaire class. You’ll never earn what they lucked (or were born) into regardless of how hard you try. Wake up, bootlicker.

        You really think all ceos and managers do zero work?

        You do realize there are closed of companies that aren’t Amazon and tesla, right?

        There are literally tens of thousands of ceos of small companies and non profits that work their ass off.

        This is why you are being intellectually dishonest. You’re not that stupid, but you won’t admit it.
