This statement is pretty ambiguous. “Artificial employee” makes me think of some program that is meant to perform tasks in a semi-independent manner. It would be trivial to generate a million different prompts and then have some interface that routes stuff to these prompts in some way. You could also register it as a corporation. It would presumably be slightly less useful than your generic AI chatbot, because the cost and latency would be slightly higher than if you didn’t set up the chatbot in this way. But only slightly.
Though one could argue that since AI chatbots lack agency, they don’t count as artificial employees. But then is there anything that counts? Like at some point it just seems like a confused goal to me.
By “artificial employee” I mean “something than can fully replace human employee, including their agentic capabilities”. And, of course, it should be much more useful than generic AI chatbot, it should be useful like owning Walmart (1,200,000 employees) is useful.
Ok, so then since one can’t make artificial general agents, it’s not so confusing that an AI-assisted human can’t solve the task. I guess it’s true though that my description needs to be amended to rule out things constrained by possibility, budget, or alignment.
“Set up a corporation with a million of artificial employees” is pretty legible, but human amount of agency is catastrophically insufficient for it.
