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?

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...

"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."

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

A cardboard cutout would be a lot cheaper.

And would show more emotion

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

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.

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.

Oh wow, look who just made their position redundant! I guess we should expect some high profile layoffs.
Imagine just laying off 1 employee and saving 25 million in budget expenses.

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

Let's look at this from the other perspective too.

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

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

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

"AI Zuckerberg"? Did the Department of Redundancy Department design this?
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 5 pts · 137d
they wanted to make a digital copy of the android as a backup, so he can upload it onto another chassis, the cylon way.

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

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

You know what this is going to be used for.

Snitchatron 3000 can replace bloated HR by replacing it with an AI team, whose soul purpose it is to have their LLM.know everything that is going on inside the business at all times.
