I love the framing here.

However, I think what a lot of people don't realize is the reason a lot of executives and business users are excited about AI and don't mind developers getting replaced is because product is already a black box.

They'll start minding when things start breaking. In the mean time I'll work on stuff AI is still not so great at.

Some of us need a paycheck and have to work on whatever LLM project the CEO demands an d if it fails the developer gets blamed.

I'm more and more convinced top execs are most likely to be advantageously replaced by LLM.

They navigate such complex decision spaces, full of compromises, tensions, political knots, that ultimately their important decisions are just made on gut feelings.

Replace the CEO with an LLM whose system prompt is carefully crafted and vetted by the board of directors, with some adequate digital twin of the company to project it's move, I'm sure it should maximize the interest of the shareholders much better.

Next up: apply the same recipe to government executive power. Couldn't be much worse than orange man.

The slow-burning problem is going to be adversarial input and poison data.
