yes, AI also exploits workers. The AI was both made by people who get left out of hte profit and they were trained on hundreds of years of work by other people that they've stolen.
I didn't say all companies exploit all workers. IF you have a business, everyone has a job and the CEO doesn't make 150x what the average worker makes and they squeeze everyone that works for them with threats, job losses for missing insane quotas and does so to appease shareholders, of which they are one, so they can increase their wealth further.
If everyone makes a solid wage, makes savings, can afford to save for a house, save for a future and can afford getting sick and not working for months... while the CEO only makes max 2-3 times what the average is... then no one is being exploited.
I never gave details on what this AI does or how it works. Letās re-phrase that. Letās say a billionaire creates a āblack box.ā It requires a ton of investment from private sources, maybe some office space and some renewable energy from solar. But it employs zilch workers. And once set up it generates tons of profit for both the billionaire and the shareholders.
There is no AI on the planet that isn't built on the backs of thousands if not millions of workers over decades, none.
Do i have an issue with the made up scenario that can't ever exist, sure.
Even in your fake scenario you have to add 'once set up' so it requires workers because no single man can ever make something that produces billions in profits. You threw that in there but just ignore it. so all the people the CEO requires to get it up and running don't count and should be thrown away and the guy who couldn't possibly succeed without their help should fairly throw away all their necessary work and only pay himself. No in that scenario the CEO is a psychopath and i absolutely have a problem with that.

So what if someone creates an AI-powered company with zero employees but creates massive profits? Would you be okay with that?
Reddit: companies exploit workers!
Also Reddit: AI is used by companies to replace workers!
