Citation needed, etc. I think this is just meant to be funny but if anyone wants it to be more than that I’d need to see some actual proof.

The quote from the article is clearly from someone who has never run a company, of size at least. People have a very hard time being good CEO's, AI will not make that happen any time soon.

I haven't seen any evidence that GPT is competent enough to replace a CEO position, nor am I sure who would be writing the prompts in that case and how that position would be any different than a CEO. (I'd be cool with CEOs making less than 400x their workers though)
