I think you could have an LLM help out in decisions of the CEO, but part of that role is having someone to get rid of when the business isn't working out. A new CEO says "things are changing" more than switching out the prompt on the AI. Also, having a human figurehead is important for investor relations - if you've got a big investor the CEO might take them out for drinks or golf, and you can't do that with an AI.

I’m gonna invent a robot that gets drunk and shoots golf balls.

Today we're replacing our CEO from an OpenAI agent to another OpenAI agent. We will also be appointing our newest OpenAI agent to the board as of today.

I’ll happily take over the golfing and drinking duties for a fraction of the price.
Take 1% of what you would pay the CEO, and use it to purchase a literal scapegoat. Ceremonially sacrifice as needed, and inject remaining funds directly into the accounts of these investors.
Yeah, you could hire a person to just prompt the AI and then take the blame when the AI makes something stupid. Nobody even needs to know.
