    this all sounds really bad and stuff, until you realize that ai CEOs wouldn’t necessarily give themselves vast amounts of money. ngl other than the stuff with copyright this doesn’t sound too bad.

      The problem is with humanity giving up control to machines.

      I mean, humanity (especially in the West) has already given up large amounts of power to corporate CEOs, which can be modelled as soulless machines well enough, but installing AI would take it even one step further.

        I mean an AI CEO doesn’t wanna buy a $500 million boat to show off, it would just keep the money in the company and reinvest it somewhere.

        Both are true.

        The first ai companies will be prompted by Humans.

        A vast majority will be for profit. People want the ai to do the hard company work and collect the profit in their sleep as “owner” of the ai agent.

        A good few people will do exactly the same but request non profit style and ethical focus.

        Till we get to a mythical stage of agi that can actually decide globally if it thinks a company should exist or not and what purpose it should have, this is more or less same as the status quo.

          This will never happen because why would the humans in power let an agi exist that is beneficial towards the general public? The idea that agi will ever be a beneficial replacement for humans certainly is a myth.
