If they’re referring to general AI - which at this point is still sci-fi - then yes, a general intelligence can theoretically do any thinker or planners job. But given that we don’t have anything near general AI, this claim can’t be refuted and the article is pretty pointless.

If they’re speaking about LLM’s - well then this is just plain dumb.

You're telling me that an LLM, a current LLM, couldn't do a better job of running rabbit than its current CEO.

It would hallucinate less, that's for sure.

I think you could have an LLM help out in decisions of the CEO, but part of that role is having someone to get rid of when the business isn't working out. A new CEO says "things are changing" more than switching out the prompt on the AI. Also, having a human figurehead is important for investor relations - if you've got a big investor the CEO might take them out for drinks or golf, and you can't do that with an AI.

I’m gonna invent a robot that gets drunk and shoots golf balls.

If I had been drinking coffee it would be in my lap now. Yes it WOULD hallucinate less.

Many of those CEO I've experienced could be replaced with dice just as easily.

If you think about it having an AI run a company with oversight from a board should give you much more reliable results without needing to pay the salary of hundreds of middle class workers.
