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.

Today we're replacing our CEO from an OpenAI agent to another OpenAI agent. We will also be appointing our newest OpenAI agent to the board as of today.

The CEO of a corporation is its top salesman. Besides, if you believe it is just about making decisions, use ChatGPT to make trading decisions on your portfolio. Let us know how it goes!

I used a trading bot years ago on my crypto portfolio.

I lost a significant chunk of my portfolio because I turned it off when I thought it was being irrational.

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.

A current LLM certainly could do a much better job of running Twitter than its current CEO.

LLMs might as well end up being very good at selling stuff
