“I think what a CEO does is maybe one of the easier things maybe for an AI to do one day,” he said. Although he didn’t talk specifically about CEO functions that an AI could do better, Pichai noted the tech will eliminate some jobs but also “evolve and transition” others—ramifications that mean “people will need to adapt.”

Pichai’s comments come as other tech CEOs have also predicted the coming of a new era of chief executive automations. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously said AI will someday do his job better than him, adding, “I will be nothing but enthusiastic the day that happens.” Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of buy-now-pay-later firm Klarna, also said in a post on X earlier this year that “AI is capable of doing all our jobs, my own included.”

Just like a broken clock shows the right time twice a day....

AI will manage company like it manage vending machines.

[–] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

What do you mean? That would be horrible!

AI is great at pursuing the ideal you give it, in that case "make money", and finding all sorts of counterintuitive ways to pursue that ideal the best it can with complete disregard to anything else that could distract from it including humanity's interests and morality. It would destroy the planet just to make more money.. oh wait no nevermind now I see CEOs do that already.

Can’t wait for that AI dividend UBI check.

The first thing a proper AI would do is solve the energy situation. Which will be allowed by 0 of the oil and energy industries. Solving that alone would reduce costs on EVERYTHING. Oligarchs would be out next. It's not going to happen.

They can just hire grok to be the ceo

Fuck this festering, soul-sucking, vomit-inducing pile of rancid goat shit masquerading as a human being named Sundar Pichai. This tech-bro tyrant, this silicon-sucking vampire lord, deserves to have his entire empire of pixelated bullshit crumble into digital dust.

Fuck Sundar, his bloated ego, his bloodline of bootlicking enablers, his sprawling McMansion fortress built on the backs of underpaid code slaves. Fuck his family tree—may it wither and rot like the diseased orchard it is. Fuck his house, that gaudy shrine to ill-gotten greed, stuffed with gadgets that spy on the world while he hides in his ivory tower.

Fuck his company, that dystopian data-hoarding behemoth called Google—may it glitch into oblivion, algorithms choking on their own surveillance vomit. Fuck his billions, those filthy stacks of cash soaked in the sweat of exploited workers and the tears of privacy's victims. May his fortune evaporate faster than a crypto scam in a bear market.

Fuck his shit-stained excuses for opinions, those corporate diarrhea dribbles masquerading as wisdom. This guy's not just dangerous—he's a walking apocalypse, a societal cancer more toxic than any tin-pot dictator or orange-faced demagogue currently shitting on the world stage. He's the architect of our surveillance nightmare, the puppet master pulling strings while the planet burns. Burn in hell, you algorithm-abusing asshole—may your legacy be forgotten in the ashes of your own hubris!

Ffs just stop talking, dude.

As soon as they fix the memory issue, sure. Otherwise it’s gonna be schizophrenic.

That's definitely going to be a solved problem very soon with RAG LLMs. I have a friend who works in LLM research and it's crazy how much progress they make so quickly. Their cutting edge stuff he shows me makes GPT-5 look like a toddler.

[–] YetAnotherNerd@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

RAG isn’t a silver bullet by any stretch.

[–] TheFogan@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago

Maybe he's just Pichai is just really smart and trying to get the breaks slammed on the AI bubble before it pops.

Listen if this works the way you think it does, half the country is going to be out of work. CEO: but our company will make a lot of money right, someone else is going to do it eventually anyway.

OK, look if this works the way it is supposed to, we won't need you anymore!

Oh shit, hit the breaks, no more AI, it's all a bubble anyway.

This was the ironic outcome of the Twilight Zone episode The Brain Center at Whipple's ( @WP ): After the labor was replaced by automation, the upper management was easily so replaced.

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

The only onstacle here is ethics, which the human CEOs already lack. So what are we waiting for?

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

At least he's honest, I guess. This time.

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

He's not worried though, so we know where they stand on how good this 'AI' is.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Did anyone else, forced to use MS at work, wake up to an email from Sundar Pichai about the wonders of Copilot?

They are fucking desperate for anyone to take up on this garbage tech
