If you want job security, don't give the AI feedback

While companies say they’ve adopted AI in order to improve efficiency, their true intentions, however, is to use their employees to train their AI replacements.

If CEOs could, they’d fire all their employees and replace them with obedient, efficient robots. Unfortunately for them, the technology isn’t quite there yet.

In order to get there, they need to provide their crony AI researchers with high-quality feedback from the people they’re trying to replace. So how do they go about convincing their employees to hand over their feedback?

The answer, it seems, is by forcing all employees to use it. They’re even refusing to hire people who don’t want to use AI.

By forcing everyone to use AI, they’re putting them in a position where they now need to provide feedback in order to make their lives easier. When the AI makes a mistake, a frustrated employee feels compelled to complain about it. Each complaint moves us one inch closer to AGI, and therefore, your replacement.

So how do we stop, or at least slow down, this march?

As an employee, if you’re forced to use AI, then go ahead and use it (it might even make your life easier) but only give them low-quality feedback. For example, feel free to complain about spelling mistakes, but avoid pointing out logical errors. The best kind of feedback they’re looking for are concrete examples of when you gave the AI a problem, and it gave a different output than what you were expecting.

By only giving them low-quality feedback, you’re keeping the AI just smart enough to do your own grunt work, but just dumb enough so it doesn’t replace you.
