Their argument is going to be that AI is so good, it'll just replace half of the Fortune 500 with their own agentic AI.

It's so delusional.

Like fuck everything AI creates is so generic and bland even generic and bland corporate output looks nice.

I don't know.

There is a ton of corporate email pushers and power point makers which could be replaced by an AI model I think.

The current issue they are struggling with is figuring out who they can blame when it fucks up. At some point they will land on an answer that to that. We are literally in the age of people copy pasting AI output into emails. At some point that's gotta give.

We are beyond even that. It will read, write the reply, and send. There doesn't even need to be someone to copy and paste anything.

I mean, yes, but they can't be replaced by AI because AI does the job better, they can be replaced by AI because they produce nothing of actual value.

That’s the consumer side. The boring bland generic is pretty decent for code if the operator isn’t a slop zombie
