| A custom-built AI would be pretty good at replacing a CEO. Think of all the things a company could do if they reduced overhead by that much? |

| You don't need custom built anything, ChatGPT could generate corporate initiatives and PR statements all day and no one would notice. |

| ▲ | ottoflux 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | 100% been saying this for a while now. the main thing AI will be able to replace is a C suite. | | |
| ▲ | orphea 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | maybe this is the way forward. Imagine how many tokens one could burn given C suite salaries. | | | |
| ▲ | vjvjvjvjghv 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I think it will handle communication between the C suit and the underlings. | |
| ▲ | pydry 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | it's kind of like saying like you could replace a king with an AI. the position is a relationship to power more than it is a function with a productive output. a bad king and a bad CEO could be replaced with a spinning top with no loss in productivity (and maybe some gain). |

| ▲ | vjvjvjvjghv 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I still remember when I used ChatGPT the first time to write an email. I thought to myself “Oh. This sounds like 99% of the corporate communication from above”. We were joking that corporate had BossGPT for years and just didn’t tell anybody. It also made me realize that most the so called “creatives” in marketing and PR also just repeat variations of the same few templates. Not much real creativity there. | |

| It's pretty disappointing that people on this site of all places have no idea what CEOs do. Many of them are certainly overpaid, and like any other profession, many are not good at their jobs, but they aren't sitting around drafting memos and coming up with deciding who to fire all day. |

| You can get a lot of tokens for a CEO. I'd say it's worth a try. |

| I am building a project now and then will create an AI to manage it and be the CEO. The code is human + AI, the management is only AI |

| Who takes responsibility when the AI does something unethical or illegal? Do we put the computer in jail? Or do we just look the other way like we do with human CEOs? |

| ▲ | Nuzzerino 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I think Grok on x.com is a reasonable case study. There’s the stuff we heard about and then there’s a separate category of things that weren’t newsworthy, and only the newsworthy things prompted changes to be made. | |

| Robotics aren't there yet, it needs to go on golf playdates with investors and board members. |
| |
| ▲ | mmmm2 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | Maybe a virtual / Zoom agent could allow the elderly investor to stay in the game. When you get too old to go golfing you can still stay in the game. |

| AI means mediocre. Mediocre companies are pretty bad to work in. So it would guarantee a soulless and pointless company imo |
| |
| ▲ | ungreased0675 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | My charitable word would be average. AI means average. And an average CEO isn’t that bad. It’d be a deliberate trade in exchange for less spending on salaries. (just one very large salary) |

| While I agree that AIs would do a good job… Would you rather take instructions from a ruthless robot or ruthless flesh sack? |
| |
| ▲ | yoyohello13 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Weirdly enough, I'd take the robot. At least we can pretend the robot doesn't know any better. The human is actively choosing to be a dick and profiting off it. | |
| ▲ | vitally3643 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The flesh sack is choosing to be an insufferable twat, and the robot either doesn't have any choice or has a decent statistical justification for what it does. | |
| ▲ | ungreased0675 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | A robot with access to all of the company data and mediocre decision making wouldn’t be terrible. |

| I posited that one as a question. Naive and stupid, but it was downvoted and flagged away into oblivion with
zero chance for a conversation. |
