Programmer Humor

Well, I might get disliked for this opinion, but in some cases it's perfectly fine for a computer to make a management decision. However, this should also mean that the person in charge of said computer, or the one putting the decision by the computer into actual action, should be the one that gets held responsible. There's also the thing where it should be questioned how responsible it is to even consider the management decisions of a computer in a specific field. What I'm saying is that there's no black and white answer here.

You are essentially saying
"Management is essential, replace the common work force with AI"

Well...If I get fired, I will hold you accountable!

The directors not going to like this

I've thought about this wrt to AI and work. Every time I sit in a post mortem it's about human errors and process fixes.

The day a post mortem ends with "well the AI did it so nothing we can do" is the day I look towards.. with dread.

I don't think this is wise at all.

Its just people putting into words their wish to be able to punish and appoint blame above their wishes to be pragmatic.

If software is better at something, there is no reason to be mad at that software.

More than that, the idea that the software vendor could not be held liable is farcical. Of course they could be, or the company running said software. In fact, they'd probably get more shit than managers who regularly get away with ridiculous shit.

I mean wage theft is the biggest form of theft for a reason, and none of the wage thieves are machines (or at least most aren't).

Until Skynet happens.

I feel this way about things like companies, too. It must always be human beings that bear the personal responsibility for an organization’s crimes, not “the company” alone. When money can pay in lieu of personal responsibility, then there is no justice or accountability.
