This might seem like a childish retort, but I genuinely think that the job of CEO should definitely be given to AIs. I mean, it's both the most expensive and most risky job of them all, and there's nothing a CEO does that even the current LLMs couldn't handle.

The ROI should be fairly high.

I suspect an LLM could possibly handle generating the text in a quarterly report, as well as many mundane tasks, but not the question and answer session on the earnings conference call because nuance and judgment is required to communicate critical information to the market.

Besides the non-trivial task of communication, I have the impression that there is a general belief that companies with a bad CEO tend to die and companies with a good CEO often thrive. How would you make sure that the LLM is a good CEO as opposed to a CEO that steers the company toward failure?

Except that a quarterly report needs to be free of hallucinations. The SEC doesn't like it when a company makes false statements to its shareholders.

Does the SEC really matter anymore now that Chevron was overturned?

This is an idiotic take for 2024. A CEO has to hold an enormous amount of information in-brain and make decisions based on all of it, and handle interpersonal relationships, and manage people, etc. LLM’s can barely handle the information in the context windows they have now.

The comment you're responding to is clearly satire. Everything you said could be applied to the creative jobs some people think AI can replace.
