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.
