Unpopular opinion: AI will start being useful to business when it will start being used to re-organize and re-architect core business processes... Not as part of existing business processes, the "augmentation" will never offer too much!

It will be when AI systems will decide who to hire and who to fire and who to promote and demote, or what other companies to acquire or to merge with - profit will be increased, and almost everyone will hate it!

It will be when huge fusioned megacorps AI systems will gain monopolies and replace free markets with centralized planning systems that will actually outperform markets ("socialist planning" can't work because it can't work with humans ...bringing in "other" types of intelligences will change the game, and nobody will call it "socialism" bc it will not even try to benefit the people this time around - and there will be markets still, just likely HFT-style ones that will block direct human actors from playing in them) ...and most will hate it and likely wage war against the societies that will embrace it this way!

You'll see AI stops being useless to business, don't worry ...but it will come with many consequences and side effects, our society as it is can't handle it!



Silly conclusion. AI will also be able to answer the question "How can I change to further my career?". An answer that human overseers have a terrible time with.

And if you do what the AI suggests, it will work and you will prosper.
