@pluralistic brilliantly clarifying our modern world for us, as usual:
We’re nowhere near the point where an AI can do your job, but we’re well past the point where your boss can be suckered into firing you and replacing you with a bot that fails at doing your job.
Now I know that the phrase “The emperor’s new livestream” is a thing that exists, and it exists because of that absolutely hilarious and bonkers livestream story.
I've noticed an about-face on AI by the layer of management just under the layer under C-suite--the ones who actually have to answer for KPIs or for causing giant data leaks. They're now mostly trying to get the people above them to slow-walk AI stuff outside of a handful of things it was already doing before the hype train kicked off (like running the chat box). The hype cycle seems to have waned, and none of them want to be left holding the bag for the contrepeneurs.
