The fact that articles like this get traction is ironically exactly why an AI can’t be a good CEO—picking a popular next token is worthless if not backed by some reasoning and organizational structure to benefit the business. It’s a trope that CEOs are out of touch with the ground reality faced by the rank and file, but what’s less obvious is that the majority is also pretty ignorant about the inner workings of executive leadership. There’s just not enough data there to train an AI as everything written down is very carefully wordsmithed, and depends on context from thousands of private conversations, many of them full of controversial and contradictory points. The things an AI would emit based on this input would cause open rebellion and shareholder lawsuits in a heart beat.
