A more interesting “bear case” for AI is that, if you look at the list of industries that leading AIs like GPT-4 are capable of disrupting—and therefore making money off of—the list is lackluster from a return-on-investment perspective, because the industries themselves are not very lucrative. What are AIs of the GPT-4 generation best at? It’s things like:

writing essays or short fictions

digital art

chatting

programming assistance

    What part of their jobs do you think an AI can replace?

    The whole sitting around, profiting from actual laborers part, I’m guessing.

      The fucking antiwork crowd is insufferable and intellectually dishonest. Be better. This is such a sad comment.

        Why? Why can an AI not replace a CEO? And why has CEO compensation risen, while average worker compensation dropped, all while worker output has increased over the past decades? That seems like simple math, that the money isn’t going to who it should be going to and is just going to management and investors because they make the rules

          The issue you’re speaking about is an issue of oligopoles and giant businesses, not ceos and management. It’s a breakdown of economic principles, namely, supply and demand of labor, due to oligopoles.

        You’re a useful idiot for the billionaire class. You’ll never earn what they lucked (or were born) into regardless of how hard you try. Wake up, bootlicker.

          You really think all ceos and managers do zero work?

          You do realize there are closed of companies that aren’t Amazon and tesla, right?

          There are literally tens of thousands of ceos of small companies and non profits that work their ass off.

          This is why you are being intellectually dishonest. You’re not that stupid, but you won’t admit it.
