CEOs have been talking about how programmers, attorneys, etc. will be replaced by AI. However, the CEO seems like the perfect role to be replaced by AI. Why isn't the board nor investors bullish on replacing their CEO? At the very least, a large salary can be cut.
Do you really want the direction of an entire company to be dictated by AI? You act as if the CEO does <i>nothing</i>, which isn't true. One of the main jobs is networking/maintaining relationships, which isn't something that can be done with AI.<p>Jobs where you just sit and work all day with little human interaction will most likely be replaced by AI first.
As a similar concept, I've been seeing a lot of "normal" (non-technical) people on social media platforms putting out videos where they let ChatGPT run their life, or make ChatGPT form a company, and they act as the AI's "hands."
I guess this depends on the kind of CEO, but I think a lot of the CEO’s job is to be a human being / celebrity with a perspective.<p>Is Elon Musk a better CEO because of the decisions he makes about his companies or because he gets other humans to follow him. Probably both, but you can’t exclude the latter.
The entire point of AI in this context is to allow capitalists to maximize profits by automating and eliminating their workforce. Why on earth would they work against their own interests by making <i>themselves</i> surplus to requirements?
