At some point in the last decade, the ~~ostensive~~ ostensible goal of automation evolved from savings us from unwanted labor to keeping us from ever doing anything.

It says something important about this "revolution" that it's starting with replacement/replication of art, not labor or manual drudgery work.

If this whole AI craze was actually about replacing labor, I honestly believe it would have started with firing and automating CEOs.

I’m not even saying that as a “eat the rich” shtick - AI is great at analyzing huge datasets and determining a conclusion from the results. It would obviously need refinement, but that would probably be the major role I could see it immediately taking over.

I've worked at places where the CEO being removed without a replacement would have had the company run markedly better. So replacing a CEO with just a license to stock ChatGPT would be a net benefit to probably a significant number of corporations.
