Executives are twice as likely as rank-and-file workers to trust AI over their own judgment, per a survey out Wednesday morning.
It’s a worrying development. Leaders are hired for their experience and knowledge.
Outsourcing that to AI raises the risk of making decisions that don’t line up with reality, which then reverberate across companies and beyond.
leaders are hired for their experience and knowledge
Not because they’re Machiavellian wall-climbers?
The statement is correct. Executives aren’t leaders.
Is there any more evidence needed to show that Managers do not deserve the outrageous pay they’ve been getting?
Their decades long usage of consulting companies to be a sycophantic permission giver, since they don’t want to bother making well founded good business decisions. “Don’t blame me, I hired a consult and they said to do this. If decision was the wrong one, it is the consults fault. Then we hire a consult to figure out what the last consult did wrong. Then consult to consult on the consultation of the second consult on the first consults consultation”. Please pay me millions and millions of dollar to be a consult hiring person. Oh and please a golden parachute promise also, in case I need to get fired pronto.
If one was able to do good decisions on ones own, is confident on those decisions and able to make the arguments to back up the decision, one wouldn’t need to hire the consults to be the professional fall guys.
edit: Oh and I don’t know is it really needed, but well it is evidence point that also exists. So they simply changed “consult” to “AI agent”
So let the AI do their jobs and redistribute their compensation to the employees
Well that about wraps it up for anyone who still believed in the usefulness of executives.
Coincidentally, rank-and-file workers are also twice as likely to trust AI over their executives’ judgement.
Wouldn’t this be some sign of AI psychosis?
Executive Dysfunction
In other words… AI has reached a point allegedly that can now replace executives. So why have them?
Guys this is it, the window we’ve been waiting for! All we need to do is inject pro union pro consumer tax paying sentiment into ai and we’re golden!! Like when they hijacked Rick santonrum’s name in google search…we did it!
This means they should never use AI because they are uniquely vulnerable to AI disinformation and likely AI pyschosis.
We need a new generation of CEO that can actually think for themselves, as bizarre as that sounds.
We need to move away from CEOs and capitalism.
Agreed, but we need to come up with a better system and convince people to switch.
we just need a critical mass % of people willing to break the current system down, the rest can be dragged along, kicking and screaming all the way
Whatever works at this point, but I think the best way to move forward is to convince the major stakeholders to change by presenting a new paradigm. Something they may not necessarily love, but are willing to accept.
If you think that people currently in power will willingly give it up, you’re beyond naive.
Oh, I am very aware. There are winners and losers for every policy and the important part is making it palatable for the losers.
Because in their heart of hearts they know that they are skillless and worthless
Bullshit generators do a better job of generating bullshit than the whole “professional class” created to generate bullshit. Most MBAs are just that.
Low to average academic achievers that decide to pursue careers where they won’t have to work too hard or think too hard… The best ones are indeed smart, but mostly at bullshitting other bullshitters.
Leaders are hired for their experience and knowledge.

Makes perfect sense
