In The Future We’ll All Be Bosses And Have 100 Artificial Assistants

In the very near future, we’ll all be bosses, and we’ll have our own customized teams of AI agents automating processes that we manage, allowing us to accomplish much more than we currently personally do. At least, that’s the vision from OpenText, an information management company that claims 99 of the largest 100 companies on the planet as customers.

“There will be hundreds and perhaps thousands of bots being created by everybody in this audience,” chairman and chief strategy officer Tom Jenkins said at the company’s conference in Nashville last week. "Everyone is going to be building their own little AIs.”

@hb The same elon who delivered an electric pickup that looks like a re--rded child's drawing? Who increased battery capacity by...making the batteries bigger? Who failed to deliver solar roof tiles? Who failed to deliver a hyperloop?

Yeah, I don't know that I'd choose him to be my oracle.

Fools. If I can have 100 artificial assistants, why would I need a real boss ? I will just create an artificial boss to manage and torture all the 100 artificial assistants.
Sigh. Everything changes but it's still the same.

@d8 They're going to do the off-shoring no matter what. As long as they can pay English-as-a-second-language far less than native speakers, that's where the meager money will go.

@cz agreed.

But it's all fun and games until AI causes a major contract or renewal to go under.

Then they'd do more off-shoring instead.

All the tech pipe dreams and bursting bubbles will never make this happen.

For starters, LLMs are NOT AI. They are, at best, huge if-the-else statements...and they su-k. "Hallucinations" and just flat-out wrong much of the time.

The corporate soul su-kers are desperate for ways to not have to pay employees and have glommed onto this AI bullsh-t in a way that is not at all surprising, but still somehow disappointing.
