Executives are twice as likely as rank-and-file workers to trust AI over their own judgment, per a survey out Wednesday morning.
It’s a worrying development. Leaders are hired for their experience and knowledge.
Outsourcing that to AI raises the risk of making decisions that don’t line up with reality, which then reverberate across companies and beyond.
In other words… AI has reached a point allegedly that can now replace executives. So why have them?
Well that about wraps it up for anyone who still believed in the usefulness of executives.
Because executives are dumb as fuck
leaders are hired for their experience and knowledge
Not because they’re Machiavellian wall-climbers?
The statement is correct. Executives aren’t leaders.
Is there any more evidence needed to show that Managers do not deserve the outrageous pay they’ve been getting?
Their decades long usage of consulting companies to be a sycophantic permission giver, since they don’t want to bother making well founded good business decisions. “Don’t blame me, I hired a consult and they said to do this. If decision was the wrong one, it is the consults fault. Then we hire a consult to figure out what the last consult did wrong. Then consult to consult on the consultation of the second consult on the first consults consultation”. Please pay me millions and millions of dollar to be a consult hiring person. Oh and please a golden parachute promise also, in case I need to get fired pronto.
If one was able to do good decisions on ones own, is confident on those decisions and able to make the arguments to back up the decision, one wouldn’t need to hire the consults to be the professional fall guys.
edit: Oh and I don’t know is it really needed, but well it is evidence point that also exists. So they simply changed “consult” to “AI agent”
So let the AI do their jobs and redistribute their compensation to the employees
In capitalism we distribute them to the shareholders. Or the AI’s shareholders. Often the same.
Coincidentally, rank-and-file workers are also twice as likely to trust AI over their executives’ judgement.
Yes, sadly in this case, they are in fact correct in assuming the AI has better judgment than themselves. It’s a very low bar to clear.
You really can get far in management with charisma, ass-kissing, boundless optimism and ability to take credit on everything. None are really markers for smart or technically minded person, or even a moral one.
Wouldn’t this be some sign of AI psychosis?
Executive Dysfunction
Guys this is it, the window we’ve been waiting for! All we need to do is inject pro union pro consumer tax paying sentiment into ai and we’re golden!! Like when they hijacked Rick santonrum’s name in google search…we did it!
Honestly? Probably for the better on that one.
