AI Needs Training from Employees It Will Replace


Underlings must use AI or else is the word from corporate executives, even though AI use erodes critical thinking skills.  Aren't those important for workers to retain, maybe even sharpen?  Not if the worker is training their replacement.  

As for honesty about the shift, executives are not being transparent.
“Very few organizations are willing to say, ‘We’re replacing people with AI,’ even when that’s effectively what’s happening.”
Instead executives use words like reorganization, restructuring and optimization.  
“Companies laying off as they embrace large-scale AI adoption is much too coincidental to ignore.”
This also heralds the merger of two powerful super-classes, private equity underwriters (PEU) and TechGods.  PEU's cut their teeth on leveraging affiliates, charging them management/deal fees, siphoning special dividends/distributions and replacing people with technology.  

The advancement of AI by TechGods means more employees can be replaced.  Rather than 25-40% of headcount reduced by "efficiency", PEU legends can take that to 80-95%.  Of course, AI will eventually come for their jobs and maybe even the board of directors.

If all of this sounds absurd, it's because it is.  A business no longer exists to provide jobs.  How does an economy run with no people employed?  PEU Legends and TechGods care not.  Not one iota.
