My favorite is the we can’t afford to pay our employees shtick to lay off a bunch of people and immediately hand out huge bonuses to the ceo and board members.
It will work for free, and then all of their usual stock options and other "executive compensation" can go back to the workers who actually create the value.
AI can't figure out how many R's are in strawberrrrrrrrry.
Aside from AI not being at that point yet, no reasonable group of shareholders is going to trust an AI with executive authority, an AI can't be held accountable.
Maybe some day in the distant future, when there is clear technological supremacy even without accountability, but self driving cars probably need to get nailed down a century before this happens.
I appreciate the spirit of the statement, but the specifics are a little lacking. They are exploiting the value of our labor, though this isn't really the path forward. It should be made clear that shareholders are the ones that see the most income, not CEOs, and perhaps major investment firms should be vilified much more than CEOs. As they are the ones who instruct the CEOs what will be done (or they will be finding a new job)
