The biggest problem with AI is that it has very poor "accuracy vs precision" problem.

It can be very precise with what it can produce, but it's accuracy is completely unreliable.

So, as it stands right now, the only jobs it can really replace are jobs where accuracy doesn't really matter all that much, like front end software/web development and art production.

It's maddening that even this article is positive about AI.

“changed nothing” can’t be really true. sure, productivity might have been on the whole unchanged, but in my experience it’s because of the clusterfuck of half finished and poorly understood work that all of a sudden gets a pass and takes real experts to come in and mitigate and clean up. measuring productivity with lines of code was always a bad metric.

Q: Is it better to treat your employees well and keep them or go full AI for the c suite?

A:

Treating employees well and maintaining a strong workforce is generally more beneficial for long-term success than fully replacing them with AI in the C-suite. While AI can enhance efficiency, the strategic and relational aspects of leadership are best handled by humans. hrcsuite.com russellreynolds.com

Employee Treatment vs. AI in the C-Suite

Benefits of Treating Employees Well

  • Long-Term Success: Maintaining a strong workforce contributes to sustainable growth and success.
  • Strategic Leadership: Human leaders excel in strategic thinking, relationship building, and understanding complex organizational dynamics.
  • Employee Engagement: A positive work environment fosters loyalty, motivation, and productivity among employees.

Limitations of AI in Leadership

  • Lack of Human Insight: AI can enhance efficiency but lacks the emotional intelligence and relational skills necessary for effective leadership.
  • Strategic and Relational Aspects: Leadership involves nuanced decision-making and stakeholder engagement that AI cannot replicate.
  • Potential Job Displacement: Relying solely on AI may lead to employee dissatisfaction and fear of job loss, which can harm organizational culture.

Conclusion

While AI can support decision-making and operational efficiency, treating employees well and retaining human leadership is generally more beneficial for long-term success. The strategic and relational aspects of leadership are best handled by humans, ensuring a more engaged and motivated workforce. russellreynolds.com futureweek.com

Then I asked it without the (only an either/or question) and it refused to answer. Once I asked it with the either/or part, it answered this. It's a cagey SOB, but congrats AI, you're a better CEO than 90% of them.

Q: Is it better to treat your employees well and keep them or (and only an either/or question) go full AI for most employees?

A:

It is better to treat your employees well and keep them because human managers provide essential mentoring and coaching that AI cannot replicate, fostering a positive work environment and employee loyalty. Relying solely on AI for management may overlook the critical human elements necessary for a successful organization. BBC trainingmag.com

Importance of Employee Treatment

Treating employees well is crucial for maintaining a positive work environment. Human managers play a vital role in providing mentoring and coaching, which are essential for employee development and satisfaction. This human touch fosters loyalty and encourages employees to stay with the organization.

Limitations of AI Management

While AI can enhance productivity and streamline certain tasks, it cannot replicate the emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills that human managers offer. Relying solely on AI for management may lead to a lack of personal connection, which can negatively impact employee morale and retention.

Conclusion

In summary, it is better to treat your employees well and keep them rather than fully replacing human management with AI. The balance between human oversight and AI assistance can lead to a more effective and supportive workplace. aacsb.edu trainingmag.com
