Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace (fortune.com)

“I think what a CEO does is maybe one of the easier things maybe for an AI to do one day,” he said. Although he didn’t talk specifically about CEO functions that an AI could do better, Pichai noted the tech will eliminate some jobs but also “evolve and transition” others—ramifications that mean “people will need to adapt.”

Pichai’s comments come as other tech CEOs have also predicted the coming of a new era of chief executive automations. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously said AI will someday do his job better than him, adding, “I will be nothing but enthusiastic the day that happens.” Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of buy-now-pay-later firm Klarna, also said in a post on X earlier this year that “AI is capable of doing all our jobs, my own included.”

How is an AI chatbot going to eat a business lunch?

[–] sepi@piefed.social 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And the 12 martinis?

[–] massacre@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Isn't that just repeating what OP said?

[–] sepi@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I sincerely apologize, but I did not notice any mentions of martinis. Can you help me spot where OP mentioned these specifically?

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They said “business lunch” which implies martinis already.

[–] ulterno@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago

The three-martini lunch is no longer common practice for several reasons; these include ~~the implementation of "fitness for duty" programs by numerous companies, the decreased tolerance of alcohol use,[4] a general decrease in available leisure time for business executives and~~ an increase in the size of the martini

Yah, it was a joke (perhaps not a great one) and /s was implied. https://lemmy.world/u/Hawke has it correct - the martinis were fully implied by "business lunch" often known as a "liquid lunch". No apology necessary internet friend - it was strictly in jest and not being snarky to you or your comment.

You’ve never fed bologna sandwiches to a paper shredder?

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That’s going on the list. My heart says I don’t need this, but my brain says I do.

[–] Someone64@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

Isn't it the other way around...?

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Tbf the person they would eat the lunch with is also a chatbot girlfriend thing now.
