Video game support developer Keywords Studios tried to create a game solely using artificial intelligence but failed because the technology was "unable to replace talent".
Which in turn replaces people. What happens if a person is 50 percent more productive with AI? Is the company going to let them simply have 50% of the workload they would before, or will they lay off the other unneeded employees?
Listen, you’re not middle-managing hard enough. If AI tools can improve worker productivity by 50%, then you fire 75% of staff and overwork the remaining 25% while threatening to replace them with AI if they don’t suck it up.
If in the future you’re ever in doubt about how to tackle a problem, just think to yourself “what would an idiot with an MBA do?” and you’ll be set.
Too many people see AI doing work as an either or thing. AI won’t replace people outright, it’ll just reduce the amount of people you need.
