    Just wait till executives realize they can’t use AI as a scapegoat when they force a bad decision through the company. They’ll have no one to take the fall.

      AI businesses are already getting away with their software killing innocent people. I think everyone will work out for the people at the top.

        Yup. Capitalism only works in a finite world if there’s a catastrophic economic hardship for 99% of the population every 5 to 10 years just to ensure the working class doesn’t achieve too many gains. Ai causing the economy to crash is bonus feature, not a bug.

      It’s why there’s often a human in the loop who has to check the result of the AI and can be blamed if things go wrong. The poor sap can’t possibly check and correct the volumes of slop produced so they’re just there to work as a scapegoat.

      I’m pretty certain that companies and people have been using the old “computer error” excuse since at least the 1980s.

      That won’t stop them from trying to use “AI” as a scapegoat, and it also won’t stop investment bankers from continuing to participate in the circlejerk
