> what is it with C level executives and AI?

My assumption is that they are extremely excited about AI, because they are also extremely excited about being able to reduce their workforce while expecting more output from smaller teams.

I think that most of them are fundamentally bullshitters. Not all, but bullshitting while not knowing is what allows you to raise money and look confident.

LLM is bullshitter too, they assume everybody else does the same, so LLM does everything they think everyone does.
