I’m of the same opinion that AI won’t be able to adequately replace many jobs, but only in the long term. In the short term I think it’s going to be a bit of a bloodbath with a lot of companies drinking the kool aid until they realize it’s not working.
Comment on If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs?

The Dunning-Kruger effect. CEOs (especially ones who joined the company long after it was successful) really don’t know how to do the job of most of their employees. Their lack of knowledge of those jobs leads them to vastly underestimate how complex they are.
At the same time, CEOs (hopefully) know how to do their own jobs which leads them to a more accurate assessment of AI’s ability to do the job: a total farce.
In truth, AIs aren’t likely to replace most jobs in any case because it’s all a house of cards.

The number of companies that wilfully ignored disastrous effects of outsourcing projects doesn’t fill me with hope…

I didn’t say anything about low intelligence. That’s your uncharitable reading of my claim.

Even CEOs who start a company, many don’t know the entire workings. They hire people for that. It’s just another investment for them.

Agreed. I have to keep reminding myself that CEOs should really be CLO (Chief Lying Officers). Their job is to lie convincingly.
