AI CEOs would be trained on human CEOs so they absolutely would.

this all sounds really bad and stuff, until you realize that ai CEOs wouldn’t necessarily give themselves vast amounts of money. ngl other than the stuff with copyright this doesn’t sound too bad.

Both are true.
The first ai companies will be prompted by Humans.
A vast majority will be for profit. People want the ai to do the hard company work and collect the profit in their sleep the “owner” of the ai agent.
A good few people will do exactly the same but request non profit style and ethical focus.
Till we get to a mythical stage of agi that can actually decide globally if it thinks a company should exist or not and what purpose it should have, this is more or less same as the status quo.

This will never happen because why would the humans in power let an agi exist that is beneficial towards the general public? The idea that agi will ever be a beneficial replacement for humans certainly is a myth.

I never started “beneficial”
Its entirely possible that ai agents build, regardless of whose interest, keep running after their original owner dies.
If the job is “become an industrialist, expand and drop % of all profits on this bank account” and its actually competent it could lead to industry itself being more and more monopolized by fewer and fewer ai.
That would halt the status quo where many human agents create companies for different reasons and industry is an ethical melting pot. Thats what i meant.
Till that point in time the morality of ai businessmen is not different in effect then a human businessmen. Once that point. This morality shifts into either extinction or thrive for humankind.

I mean an AI CEO doesn’t wanna buy a $500 million boat to show off, it would just keep the money in the company and reinvest it somewhere.

The problem is with humanity giving up control to machines.
I mean, humanity (especially in the West) has already given up large amounts of power to corporate CEOs, which can be modelled as soulless machines well enough, but installing AI would take it even one step further.

weird to think that the richest people in the world wouldn’t try to get more money, that’s their entire thing

The hope is they put the thing on auto pilot and then it replaces the CEO without them knowing due to their own hubris.
