Just wait until people realize that the easiest jobs to automate aren’t usually the ones that pay $9/hr. Automated performance metrics, direct monitoring of employee active screen time, so on and so forth. All the while managers were thinking how much easier it was going to make their job.

We’re at the point that an AI can now perform the requisite performance metric failing, sternly worded cautionary performance review, translate the verbal conversation for HR records as documentation for a subsequent firing if needed, and simply not care that your kid died and it has been a rough month.

Left to their own devices, the corporate dystopia is pretty bleak.
