I mean that’s what they all want. They want (still very well paid) puppet figureheads as leaders while AI make literally every decision based on improving short term profits. If the AI fucks it up they can blame it on the CEO and oust him while they tune the model and put a new one in place. We’re inching ever closer to Neuromancer
