The real top boss is the Chairman of the Board of Directors, although the Chairman is often appointed CEO, it doesn't always happen. The Board of Directors is made up of large shareholders - the people who actually own the company. The CEO is technically just an employee and needn't own any shares at all (although that would be extremely abnormal).
So, there may actually be a time when a corporation's Board decides to use an "AI" as their CEO to cut costs.
Delivering total nonsense, with complete confidence.
Just like a real CEO.
Johnson, it’s perfect. Fire me immediately.
This isn't even a joke. My CEO is the biggest idiot in the company, and I have ample evidence to prove it.
He uses AI constantly.
I think an ai could outperform my executives.
One of them sent out an email about how we weren't making enough money. But don't worry, he has a strategy that we will execute on and fix it.
The strategy is to raise prices and get more sales at the same time... That is literally it. Not even picking "high value" versus "high volume", just a declaration that we can do both. If this genius plan doesn't work, it's just because the sales people failed to execute against his brilliant strategy well enough.

Good strategy if he can pull it off. 🤣🤣🤣
Even in AI dystopia female representation at the executive level is nonexistent.
Perhaps that's backwards. Maybe women make batter CEOs, so AI parody of failure doesn't apply as strictly.
Plot twist most of them already are. They stopped working completely a long time ago.
AI is basically going to be... "It wasn't me it was the robot" argument.
I'm not a racist...
I didn't push the company to lower safety standards...
I did not have sexual relations with that woman...
And so on. Behind the scenes it will be the same crap but now they can escape blame with AI.
AI is the new consulting firm.
They had me at "Sustainability - Save the planet by talking about it."
Can we get an "AI Oligarch Replacement Service". That could be super useful.
Disappointed this is a parody.
There are actual AI-based services to replace company upper management, and take it seriously, since AI in its current iteration is strong enough to manage companies even when its art is quotidian.
Mr. Whipple's days are actually numbered.
This is correct; the best fits for LLM based AI job replacement are in management and team leading. even C-suite levels. think about it: if your job is to take any info and transform it, that's one thing; but when you have to create/move/repair/touch anything irl, it becomes exponentially more expensive via robotics and the returns are poor compared to the investments.
I think there's a concerted reason we're not seeing it attack these positions more outwardly - being that these same people are the decision makers. Eliminating their workers is an easy decision to make, eliminating their own position won't even be considered.

Sounds more like a push button cult leader
Control your boss before they control you.
