Yeh I think people like this idea because of a kind of ironic poetic justice since it's those guys who wanted to replace everyone else except themselves with AI, but if you think about how much you hated those uncaring bastards operating like robots just to extract an ounce of profit at whatever the human cost, imagine now actually being a robot. Also, if you ever had to deal with bullshit from those guys and resented having to grin and bear it even though you don't think they're particularly qualified and also know nothing about your job, imagine having to be "managed" by a fucking robot that tries to say patronising encouraging things because it's learned the very best pattern of speech to get the behaviour it wants out of you. Admittedly at least some of the decision making might be a bit more rational, but then every now and then AI gets things totally out of wack in the strangest ways and you'll have to just take those decisions, from a damn machine.
I get what you're going for but I have a hard time imagining this as a good thing so long as companies are profit driven.
