How does it make sense to trade one group of labor (human) who are generally loosely connected, having little collective power for another (AI)? What you're really doing isn't making work more "efficient", you're just outsourcing work to another party -- one who you have very little control over. A party that is very well capitalized, who is probably interested in taking more and more of your margin once they figure out how your business works (and that's going to be really easy because you help them train AI models to do your business).

- iamleppert 1y agoThat's not required. All that is required is becoming a sole source of labor, or a source that is the only realistic choice economically. If you ask me, that's the real long game on AI. That is exactly why all these billionaires keep pouring money in. They know it's the only way to continue growth is to start taking over large sections of the economy.
- rswail 1y agoYes, that's the difference between robot makers (tool makers for others) and AI, which is not only trying to be a tool for other companies, but also take over their businesses, by acquiring their knowledge and then use a combination of capture through lack of visibility and (mis-)use of the information gathered to directly compete. Classic enshittification combined with embedding internally to company operations to become indispensable.
