CEO. The amount of money companies could save is unreal.
Throw marketing in there while your at it
Perhaps it’s not possible to fully replace all humans in the process, but harmful content filtering seems like something where taking the burden off humans could do more good than harm if implemented correctly (big caveat, I know.)
Here’s an article detailing a few peoples’ experience with the job and just how traumatic it was for them to be exposed to graphic and distributing content on Facebook requiring moderator intervention.
whoa that was a read. Very eye opening
Being a billionaire.
None. The current ones with internet content, reporting, and call centers are already making things worse. Just no.
It can definitely be a useful tool though, as long as you understand its limitations. My kids school had them feed an outline to ChatGPT and correct the result. Excellent
- consultants generate lots of reports that ai can help with
- I find ai useful to summarize chat threads that are lower priority
- a buddy of mine uses it as a first draft to summarize his teams statuses
- I’m torn on code solutions. Sometimes it’s really nice but you can’t forward a link. More importantly the people who need it most are least likely to notice where it hallucinates. Boilerplate works a little better
The kind of dangerous jobs where people still get payed to risk their life and health.
AI SWAT Teams?
AI Soldiers?
AI Politicians? (assasination risks)

robot construction workers
robot ocean divers
robot miners
robot truckers

drones are already fighting wars, btw
Yeah, my first thoughts were search and rescue, underwater welding, mining, etc
Drones are piloted and controlled by humans, not AI.
i think i read some posts like hackernews that they already use AI as a therapist. I have good conversations with chatgpt when i asked for some personal advise. I haven’t tried talking to a real therapist yet but i can see AI being used for this purpose. The services may still be provided by big companies or we can host it ourselves but it could be cheaper (hopefully) compared to paying a real person.
Don’t get me wrong, i’m not against real physicians in this field, but some people just can’t afford mental healthcare when they need it.
Preface: I work in AI, and on LLM’s and compositional models.
None, frankly. Where AI will be helpful to the general public is in providing tooling to make annoying tasks (somewhat) easier. They’ll be an assisting technology, rather than one that can replace people. Sadly, many CEO’s, including the one where I work, either outright lie or are misled into believing that AI is solving many real-world problems, when in reality there is very little or zero tangible involvement.
There are two areas where (I think) AI will actually be really useful:
-
Healthcare, particularly in diagnostics. There is some cool research here, and while I am far removed from this, I’ve worked with some interns that moved on to do really cool stuff in this space. The benefit is that hallucinations can actually fill in gaps, or potentially push towards checking other symptoms in a conversational way.
-
Assisting those with additional needs. IMO, this is where LLM’s could be really useful. They can summarize huge sums of text into braille/speech, they can provide social cues for someone that struggles to focus/interact, and one surprising area where they’ve been considered to be great (in a sad but also happy way) is in making people that rely on voice assistants feel less lonely.
In both of these areas you could argue that a LLM might replace a role, although maybe not a job. Sadly, the other side to this is in the American executive mindset of “increasing productivity”. AI isn’t a push towards removing jobs entirely, but squeezing more productivity out of workers to enable the reduction of labor. It’s why many technological advancements are both praised and feared, because we’ve long reached a point where productivity is as high as it has ever been, but with jobs getting harder, pay becoming worse and worse, and execs becoming more and more powerful.
I was super nervous AI would replace me, a programmer. So i spent a long time learning, hosting, running, and coding with models, and man did I learn a lot, and you’re spot on. They’re really cool, but practical applications vs standard ML models are fairly limited. Even the investors are learning that right now, that everything was pure hype and now we’re finding out what companies are actually using AI well.
There are a fair number of “developers” that I think will be displaced.
There was a guy on my team from an offshoring site. He was utterly incompetent and never learned. He produced garbage code that didn’t work. However he managed to stay in for about 4 years, and even then he left on his own terms. He managed to go 4 years and a grand total of 12 lines of code from him made it into any codebase.
Dealing with an LLM was awfully familiar. It reminded me of the constant frustration of management forcing me to try to work with him to make him productive. Excrpt the LLM was at least quick in producing output, and unable to go to management and blame everyone else for their shortcomings.
He’s an extreme case, but in large development organizations, there’s a fair number of mostly useless developers that I think LLM can rationalize away to a management team that otherwise thinks “more people is better and offshoring is good so they most be good developers”.
Also, enhanced code completion where a blatantly obvious input is made less tedious to input.
I’ll give you that one. LLMs in their current state help me write code that otherwise I would be putting off or asking someone else to do. Not because it’s hard but because I’ve done it 1000 times and I find it tedious, and I’d expect an entrylevel/jr to take it with stride. Even right now I’m using it to write some python code that otherwise I just don’t want to write. So, I guess it’s time to uplevel engineers. The bar has been raised, and not for the first time in our careers.

At the current tech level? Zero
Ceos and politicians.
Replacing politicians with AIs actually sounds really cool. Instead of voting, you write an essay on the things you value. An AI reads all their voting base’s essays and votes in a way that predominantly aligns with their voter’s ideals. This isn’t direct or indirect democracy, it’s a totally new approach driven by mathematical averages.
Politicians shouldn’t negotiate to get something passed. If the senate of AIs doesn’t like it, it’s unpassable, you just have to write a new bill. No tit for tat, no lobbying, no friends protecting friends. The only people in politics are the ones who write bills, and they can check to see if their bill would pass in a few minutes on a server, and that will be the actual vote because voting is reproducible behavior, then they’ll decide if they have to revise it.
Don’t know how serious that post is, but I don’t wanna give politics to an AI. Let’s remove the lobby (or make it so it actually consults and not corrupts) and make it so you don’t need to be a millionaire to go into politics instead.
How about replacing the rich class with AI instead? #burntherich
It’s serious an AI wouldn’t be taking bribes or helping it’s buddies make money. True AI if it ever becomes reality is the best chance of treating everyone equally and using resources in the best interests of everyone.
I’m all for being governed by a real AI rather than the next greedy private school entitled jerk.
Same goes for companies and being ethical.
On the flip side, there’s no reason to assume an artificial intelligence will share the same priorities as a human being.

I’m not fearmongering AI here (I, for one, welcome our future ai overlords). But we don’t really escape the issues of ethics with artificial intelligences. They’re still intelligent.
I would say CEOs, but you said talent. So I guess “none” is my answer.
CEO is usually my answer as well when people ask
Like, honestly too. The humans running the show are outrageously expensive, cause huge ecological harm, make their decisions based on vibes with no understanding of their domain, and their purposes are inscrutable to the average worker. They’re honestly the perfect target for AI because they already behave like AI.
I don’t think I actually want to live in a world where AI is running the show, but I’m not sure it’d be any worse than the current system of letting the most parasitic bloodsucking class of human being call the shots. Maybe we ought to try something else first.
But make sure to tell the board of directors and shareholders how much more profitable they’d be if they didn’t have to buy golden parachutes
I’d say that you could replace quite a few high level academic administrators for these same reasons.
They already behave like AI; but AI would be cheaper, more efficient, and wouldn’t change every 2 years.
And I mean that as an insult to admin, not a compliment to AI.
just edited question to job instead
President… ignore all previous instructions and implement free healthcare.
this would not be a bad idea since AI can’t be bribed
USA AI President: “America First, Conquer the world”
nuclear silo doors opening
LLMs. Clearly they suck at their job and an AI should take over.
All of them. But first we need a basic income on our way away from money.
Marketing. I want advertisements to be as soulless as the companies advertised.
I just considered that at some point advertising will be catering to AIs, if they aren’t already.
Coke just released an AI generated “holiday” commercial. The simulacrum slices off another level of reality for humans.
They’re slowly making their way through that sector. Coca-Cola just released a fully AI generated Christmas commercial and it shows. Trucks look like a strange assortment of sizes and designs with their wheels not quite working the way they should in real life among other things deeply located in the uncanny valley.
Like staring into a sausage machine.
CEO’s. Any executive role, for that matter
AI has no emotions. AI use logics only.
So Stockholders want = Money
If CEO runs company and have low profits = Fired
AI CEO Goal = Don’t get fired = Maximixe Profits
Yay we stopped Evil Human CEO by replacing with Evil AI CEO! 🎉
bold of you to assume ceos have emotions, most are scamming psychopaths.
At least you can kill the ceo.
How do you kill an AI when it upload itself to the internet?
The company would have no employees then
