If the notion that "AI is coming for your job" now includes making Zuckerberg unemployed, I'm cautiously on-board with this new development.

Wait, we can put his ai into an inflatable dummy so people can punch him:

Not like that! The clown hits back.

"I spoke with the boss and he says I deserve a 200% raise and that you must give it to me. I recorded the conversation, you can't say it's not him."

A cardboard cutout would be a lot cheaper.

And would show more emotion

I highly doubt that even the real Mark Zuckerberg could give any helpful input about most questions asked in his company. Not because he would be stupid, but because there is simply no way he would know anything about all the various different things that people do in his company. The fact that he thinks he would be helpful and that people would want him as a bobblehead in their offices makes him quite stupid though.

Honestly an AI Zuck is likely more useful than the real thing. No AI has ever invented the Metaverse so they already have an advantage.

Buzzword CEO is the most AI-replaceable job of them all.

What do you mean Mark Zuckerbot isn’t perfect?

[–] endlesseden@pyfedi.deep-rose.org 6 points 17 hours ago

let's be honest here. a toilet paper roll holder with a badge scanner and cash dispenser can do his job. real history of zuck is a BSer who knows who to manipulate to gain maximum leverage.

A milicious AI from 1990 could do the same...

They aren't talking to the boss if the boss isn't there to hear them. They are talking to an animatronic with his face stapled on, like a baby talking to a t shirt of a dad that's away on business with his face put on it.

Hey Meta employees - I'll sell you a punching bag with Zuck's mug on it so you can provide some "upward feedback".

"AI Zuckerberg"? Did the Department of Redundancy Department design this?

[–] UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 7 points 15 hours ago

Imagine how stupid you have to be to think that less "zuck time" is harming productivity.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Please open it to the public. I have a few questions. A few things I'd like to say. Some ideas I'd like to bounce off him. Suggestions.

[–] RedstoneValley@sh.itjust.works 7 points 15 hours ago

Like a digital piñata

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 11 points 17 hours ago

Have they thought about making a porcelain urinal of his face for the men's room?

[–] rodneylives@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

They have to do this because the real Mark Zuckerberg went into an Absolutely Safe Capsule.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Hmm... This might just be his wife's plot to replace him with a sexbot.

So, they want to have a zuck with personality? In this case I think the AI will be more human
