> When your amygdala calmly informs your neocortex "learn, work hard, or die" the effect can be pretty profound.

There are cases and cases, of course.

Let me give you counter example:

An AI that can invest better than VCs could put them in a precarious condition. Why we would need them if an AI can do it?

Of course that is a very improbable scenario. AIs can't form networks, inherit family money or form lobbies, so it is unlikely for such tech to compete in that realm. It would be very nice if it could! Can you imagine that?

To keep an open mind for different and wild scenarios is always a good thing we humans do.

I think if we ever create a society where AI is forming lobbies and inheriting fortunes, I will feel morally obligated to attempt to destroy every computer system on the planet

I cannot believe you would type the words "it would be very nice if it could" after describing such a nightmare

So, software developers and writers can be replaced by a machine but venture capitalists can't?

It doesn't make sense. AI should be even better at replacing those. Why does an AI need money for? It would spend it more responsibly than a human VC would.

Think of it as a guide. As the VC in charge lends his money and network to the AI, it is training a tool that can help usher a new revolutionary era of investment full of a brand new generation of investors.

If you are a VC, just try it. You might be surprised by the results and end up liking it. Who knows? AI is a friend!

You know what? Convincing these stubborn VCs would take a long time. We should just take their money, train the thing and show them how good AI can be.

Human Venture capitalists can in theory be held accountable for their actions, even if it does seem like they rarely actually are

AI venture capitalists cannot be held accountable, so they should not be allowed to exist

Accountability is important across all of human society

AI's utter lack of accountability is not an accident, it is an appealing feature for immoral people who love the idea of laundering their own responsibility through a machine

> If you are a VC, just try it. You might be surprised by the results and end up liking it. Who knows? AI is a friend

I am not a VC, and AI is not a friend

Ah, the chicken and the pig story. The writers and developers only lays eggs, the venture capitalist puts its skin at the table. I heard that before.

Again, think of it as a guide. AI has been used to detect fraud, it is already trusted in financial systems. It could be used as a tool to keep VCs in check. With this automated moral guide, it could help train VCs that are accountable not only in theory, but in practice too!

I find offensive that you are claiming AI could lead to a lack of accountability. Can you show me an example of some VC that used it to unfairly explore the system?

AI is a friend. It is already everywhere, why not concede to it? Concede to AI.

I am never going to take you seriously if you keep talking like you're an indoctrinated member of an AI cult

		I do take the phenomena of AI cultists _very_ seriously. I wonder who gave them a platform to achieve such high presence in so short time and what would it take to stop the next cult before it happens.
