Or you could fire your boss and form a worker cooperative run on consensus based decision making. Worker cooperatives succeed more than "traditional" businesses and have higher pay for their workers^1, despite being at a systemic disadvantage for seed capital. You don't need an ai to boss you around, you and your coworkers can make collective decisions without any boss to speak of.
I do wonder about just using an ai ceo as a sock puppet to seem more inviting to a ceo heavy world would be worth it, like they get really popular you could replace the model with new that takes notes of everything then relays it back to a co op board
It's my fervent prayer that AI ends up enabling smaller teams of enthusiastic individuals to actually be able to compete against megalithic corpos. I can absolutely imagine an AI contributing high level guidance to such a team for them to consider and ideate/iterate on before they adapt. It actually seems to me like one of the more plausible activities for an AI agent.
That's an interesting idea. Do you think LLMs could actually do that though?
It would sure be an interesting experiment! In my experience the chatbots are really good at providing a starting point for things. One almost always has to go take that and decide what needs improving and what can be acted upon, of course, and the team would still need to strategize for how to handle that oversight with an AI CEO.
No. LLMs are terrible at decisions.
Sounds like they're already at management level!
