It can be hard but you could think--one well might!--that difficult calls like that are why CEOs receive above-average compensation.

CEOs are compensated for making wrong decisions too. Maybe we should have AI CEOs?

Honestly their jobs as performed in reality seem a whole lot more suitable for replacement with LLMs than programmers, lawyers, or folks taking support calls

I mean snark aside, AIs seem to show genuine promise in *identifying* patterns rather than *generating* then (e.g. reading mammograms). I assume it could have useful potential as a diagnostic tool in business as well.
But CEOs will have to adapt to this new normal by finding ways to differentiate their offerings from an algorithmic application of MBA principles and oh darn there's that snark again.

Yeah…unlike, say, blockchain, there really is a “there” there with the current generation of AI. Your detection / generation distinction is a helpful heuristic, as is “Is it OK if the output is kinda bullshit?” But AI in its current state is new, it's going to spending a long time thwarting our intuitions before we get competent at figuring out what it’s good for.

@mcnulla @thecorodon @inthehands Not if they're trained on the choices made by human CEOs.

If LLMs can make decisions that are only equally bad, the savings would be considerable.
In fact they could make slightly worse decisions and still be a net improvement.

By “jobs as performed,” I meant that training them on the decisions made by human CEOs might at least produce results of similar quality.

How about “Board as a Service”

Have a collection of AI’s for corporate governance to oversee corporations, and set executive CEO pay.

Get them to outsource corporate boards to save money as a good governance function.

It’s a win-win-win!
