I saw someone on Xitter say "Any CEO who wants to replace jobs with AI should first have to replace their own assistant with AI" and I think that's the perfect rule. Every AI demo is some version of a personal assistant, surely AI can do that job right?

I think we'd get zero volunteers from CEOs who have assistants.

(Note: this is not meant to be an insult to human assistants! I think they do a valuable job and should not be replaced by AI either).

It's the eating your own dog food.

The Open AI guy said it's now better than doctors (he said it, not me lol). He's replaced his doctor, right?

What he said (https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/artificial-intelli...) is that he doesn't want AI to replace his doctor even if it is better at diagnosis. He wants both and he expects most people to agree.

I don't think that's a fair comparison since LLMs can't e.g. prescribe medical tests or medication. That's not something I'd be looking for anyway, but we should at least compare apples to apples.

I donno

CEOs get signals from multiple channels that cantbe accessed by AI or ordinary workers

so that alone becomes a moat

same with sales jobs theres a plane that AI cannot observe (yet)
