#52I 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.
Take 1% of what you would pay the CEO, and use it to purchase a literal scapegoat. Ceremonially sacrifice as needed, and inject remaining funds directly into the accounts of these investors.
Yeah, you could hire a person to just prompt the AI and then take the blame when the AI makes something stupid. Nobody even needs to know.

#53Many of those CEO I've experienced could be replaced with dice just as easily.
Roll:
1-3: farm out to Accenture/KPMG/PWC/McKinsey/some Vendor to tell us what to do and why. this includes up to most/all of the CEOs day-to-day core job functions
4-5: do whatever the industry standard is. this will likely be the same thing that Accenture tells us to do, but we can implement it sooner and don't have to pay them $900/hr first
6: implement whatever WAG ideas that lower-level managers have; flip a coin to see if those work.

#54The 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!
Robo is a prime offering of several different trading platforms.
A whole heck of a lot of trading us automated, too, and FinTech is pretty well developed.
Just cuz a public LLM might not be great for CEO work doesn't mean it can't be automated.

Any algorithmic approach to trading will soon be factored in to the decisions made by other traders, and will cease to be effective.
Trading (like business) is a chaotic system, and cannot be algorithmically predicted.

#56Earlier quoted context omitted.
If a CEOs job then is to facilitate communication between different departments, whilst inspiring confidence, then AI is the ideal tool for this. Moreso even, since they actually have a great technical grasp of what people do, as opposed to the cursory overview ("executive glance") that CEOs these days tend to operate by.
> Moreso even, since they actually have a great technical grasp of what people do, as opposed to the cursory overview ("executive glance") that CEOs these days tend to operate by I think its still not clear if the AI has anything surmounting to a "grasp" on anything. And given the errors AI (specifically the LLMs everyone is always talking about) having an AI as your CEO still feels more akin to a Monte Carlo Simulat…

#57I am the CEO / Sole Worker-Owner of my CAD Automation company. I use the AI to solve problems in domains like customer communication, tax compliance and accounting, sales, pricing, marketing, product design, software engineering, and business process automation problems. Without the AI, I know bits and pieces about all these domains but I struggle with execution, delegation, getting overwhelmed, and putting important…
Tax and accounting? Sounds dangerous, given LLMs have a penchant for making up citations (when having been asked to write research papers) with plausible sounding (but made up) information, titles, authors, etc. (or some combination of those - e.g. fake paper title but real author names). How do you know it’s actually referenced things from real tax codes that are actually applicable to you, without extremely careful…
I came to the same conclusion that you did. Where it helped was letting me delegate.
With the help of the AI I was able to get my stuff together and bring it to a CPA.
Before that I was in kind of paralysis for a couple years, not filing taxes.
