>Like when CEOs openly salivate at the prospect of firing all workers and replacing them with AI.

I saw a series of ads in a train station the other day for some company claiming to offer "AI employees" that had slogans like "our employees never complain about overtime", "our employees don't ask about vacations", etc. and was just shocked at the brazenness of it.

Yeah. And the same people seem puzzled when they see random citizens hating on AI with passion and treating it as a threat.

[lotsofpulp]

It would be funny if the ads were made by a sole proprietor.

You will find many such Marie Antoinettes in certain social circles, m/v, but mostly m. Living in such a bubble tends to warp one's perspective, also as self-justification. Those people below become resources, accounted for like energy, materials and other consumables. People wouldn't notice it anymore, but it is still a telltale sign how much a company value humans if they delegate herding to a so called Human Resources department.

The default rebuttal is that Human Resources is just a standard term. <= the point
