A custom-built AI would be pretty good at replacing a CEO. Think of all the things a company could do if they reduced overhead by that much?

You can get a lot of tokens for a CEO. I'd say it's worth a try.

You don't need custom built anything, ChatGPT could generate corporate initiatives and PR statements all day and no one would notice.

100% been saying this for a while now. the main thing AI will be able to replace is a C suite.

A common misconception about AI is that it is intended to fully replace humans, which is incorrect. The purpose of AI is to reduce the need for human labor, and it has already been doing so. For example—though this is not an exact figure—a task that previously required 15 people might now only need 10. In no instance has the human element been completely replaced; rather, the reliance on manual labor has simply been reduced.

You mean, this is an entirely made-up figure.
