I’m sure they say this, as they rub their hands together, awaiting their payday for when they slash costs by cutting most of the staff. And then the next day they’ll walk in and have a mandate from the CEO: forced use of AI. If they think AI can’t do the job of middle managers, especially when the majority of the workforce at that point is other AI, they are embarrassingly naive and shortsighted.
And I look forward to seeing how this all works out for them in the end, when their product is one that didn’t have an ounce of passion or vision during its creation, everything feels just a bit off, the ultimate made by committee game, and find themselves with no customers because no one has jobs & can’t afford luxuries like games. When they have to report to their shareholders the abysmal PNL, what’s their plan? They’ll have no director or developers to blame or fire.
Maybe when asked for comment, they’ll just respond with a URL to their internal LLM. Maybe it’ll even come full circle, and that journalist asking questions will be another job lost to AI, and we can just hear what computers have to say to one another, pantomiming like they’re real boys.
