i think any CEO excitedly talking about how they will never have to pay talent again because of ai should be—*is hauled off stage by a large cane*

Imagine being excited that your company will forever produce completely bland and derivative things that make everyone feel uneasy and offput because you fired all the employees.

its a futurist bullshit idea because they're dumber than stumps like if nobody is working the bottom, than whos being promoted to the top positions? is it gonna be like a monarchy or something?

Fired, divested of all their bank accounts, and made to learn how to draw from the ground up with only barely enough funds to live and eat until such a time as they can make a living off of their art, and then pray that AI hasn't made that impossible for them.

*steps up* --Forced to pay 1000x or more of that payroll amount in taxes which is then directly converted into ubi for all the people so we can do our art stuff in peace without being predated on by ghoulish CEOs
