I have a fantasy that someone tries using data driven systems to run business. They'd still need AI to do all the C-speak and top-tier sales work, but as it is upper management commonly resents their own workforce and enacts policy just to be vindictive.

Imagine a game company that didn't crunch because it knew crunching only slowed productivity and wrecked the health and morale of the dev team.

Imagine a company who didn't issue RTO mandates because it saw it's telecommuters are more productive and happier working from home.

Imagine if businesses didn't surveillance-max and micromanage their administrative clerks and fulfillment teams understanding that doing so slows them down and makes them miserable.

I don't know for certain that AI-assisted computers can run businesses and manage well, but we have countless examples of how upper management lets their feelings get in the way of maximizing profit and demonstrate incompetence and lack of adult maturity.

The bar really is that low.
