If this whole AI craze was actually about replacing labor, I honestly believe it would have started with firing and automating CEOs.

I’m not even saying that as a “eat the rich” shtick - AI is great at analyzing huge datasets and determining a conclusion from the results. It would obviously need refinement, but that would probably be the major role I could see it immediately taking over.

I've worked at places where the CEO being removed without a replacement would have had the company run markedly better. So replacing a CEO with just a license to stock ChatGPT would be a net benefit to probably a significant number of corporations.

Except corporations aren't meant to make a profit, they're meant to make the executives at the top a profit. Everything else is just a mechanism to do that.

If AI begins to replaces CEO’s then the whole fantasy of capitalistic meritocracy with the most ‘skilled’ or ‘educated’ earning their place at the top falls apart.

This will not happen unless it is forced to.
