Tech CEOs have this wet dream where they just speak into a microphone, “Create my product” and employees will no longer be needed. So… if it becomes that easy, why will Wall Street need tech CEOs?

    If AI shows that the business will be more profitable without a human CEO, the owners will literally just ignore it.

      Exactly. I’m sure countless accountants have pointed to that line item before and somehow we still have a CEOs.

      People who are so wowed by the incredible generative output of LLMs and can’t wait for them to fix things need to realise this technology is not for them.

      Like all nee tech it may cause a slight shakeup in the beginning allowing for a little upward mobility, but eventually big business folds around it until it only works for the owners.

      We’ll all just be working more for less, unless something actually changes.

      human CEO, the owners

      They are not the same, even in most startups. Bezos and Zuckerberg are an exception. CEOs would be replaced first if possible.
