    It’s not that good.

    Much of a CEO’s role is schmoozing with other rich assholes. AI can’t do that. Maybe once it can buy hookers and blow.

      Every LLM bot I have tried is an expert at schmoozing. Even when I don’t want it to

    I think you already know the answer because you asked the question.

    The CEOs are the ones trying to convince everyone (investors really) that AI can replace humans to try to increase profits. That’s it.

    LLMs/AI are fantastic tools, but that’s all they are. Just tools. The CEOs are selling the AI revolution fantasy.

      They’re an entertainment technology, not a revolutionary business technology as they claim, so their maximum value is constrained by the boundaries of the entertainment market rather than being a significant fraction of the World’s Economy: basically they’ll at best have a Social Media Tech-sized Economic footprint, not an Industrial Revolution one.

      However, that shit was sold to investors as an Economic Revolution and the investment footprint is proportional to that prospect and thus way bigger than it would be for “this will be as big as Social Media”, and by now all that’s left to try and keep that massive block of investment from crushing the far too narrow columnn or returns, is ever more desperate spinning of hopes and dreams fables.

        I remember people talking about DAO during the crypto hype. That’s quite curious that techbros didn’t try to revive the concept with gen ai

          The crypto bro’s whole premise is that other people’s computers are untrustworthy - the whole concept of a blockchain is that when someone declares a transaction, the other network members all verify its legitimacy by (at least) a simple majority.

          They’re not going to just let Sam Altman or Elon Musk pilot their DAO. That’s someone else’s computer running the show!

    Oh. Their job is harder to replace than some paltry programmer, who just copies code from SO anyway.

      Yes, their knowledge is locked behind the iron gates of ivy laden stone walls. Bestowed upon only for those whose Daddy’s could afford to unlock it. Mere intelligence, artificial or otherwise, simply couldn’t comprehend the 200x worker value they provide.

    Same reason religions demand you tithe but refuse to pay taxes, even though they don’t deny Christ said, “render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and render unto God what is God’s,” which is to say, fulfil your obligations to the government before fulfilling your obligations to God.

    One of the weird things about ceos, in USA at least, is that one of their roles is to be the fall guy for the board if things go badly. If they screw up badly enough, it’s expected that they’ll find it hard to be hired as CEO elsewhere, which they use to justify outsize compensation plans. I’m not sure AI would fulfill that role, nor the schmoozing aspects

      I’m my experience it’s pretty uncommon for a CEO to struggle finding a new position no matter what transpired at their previous company. Golden parachutes and failing upwards are way more common

      I keep reading “AI is better at doing … than the human” but I tried to code a simple HTML app and that fucker did a horrible job. I kept having to explain the same thing over and over and it kept giving me the wrong code. The company asked us to use this shit and I thought it would save me time… it took longer than if I just coded myself. For now my experience is not good

      It’s a great demonstration of how what modern CEOs are really good at is bullshit rather than management.
