Will CEOs eventually have to replace themselves with AI to please shareholders? (lemmy.ca)

If AI ends up running companies better than people, won’t shareholders demand the switch? A board isn’t paying a CEO $20 million a year for tradition, they’re paying for results. If an AI can do the job cheaper and get better returns, investors will force it.

And since corporations are already treated as “people” under the law, replacing a human CEO with an AI isn’t just swapping a worker for a machine, it’s one “person” handing control to another.

That means CEOs would eventually have to replace themselves, not because they want to, but because the system leaves them no choice. And AI would be considered a "person" under the law.

LLMs have no intelligence. They are just exceedingly well at language, which has a lot of human knowledge in it.

Hm... two bucks... and it only transports matter? Hm...

It's amazing how quickly people dismiss technological capabilities as mundane that would have been miraculous just a few years earlier.

I did not immediately dismiss LLM, my thoughts come from experience, observing the pace of improvement, and investigating how and why LLMs work.

They do not think, they simply execute an algorithm. Yeah that algorithm is exceedingly large and complicated, but there's still no thought, there's no learning outside of training. Unlike humans who are always learning, even if they don't look like it, and our brains are constantly rewiring themselves, LLMs don't.

I'm certain in the future we will get true AI, but it's not here yet.
