Hey that's a topic I can get behind! Most of the big CEOs appear to be CEO of multiple companies (Musk and Bezos come to mind). If you can be the CEO of five different companies, it really doesn't seem like it can be that hard of a job. ChatGPT might be able to do that just fine.

They just work harder and deserve to rule over humanity, nothing to be worried about

And, at least for one of them, they also tweet all day while somehow being invaluable in providing leadership for like 5 companies. At the same time. I can't even successfully effectively juggle 4-5 _projects_ at a time.

  Its pretty simple management style....ask what employee did last week. If you don't like the answer then fire them.

> Most of the big CEOs appear to be CEO of multiple companies (Musk and Bezos come to mind). Most big CEOs are definitely not in charge of multiple companies. You hear about Musk and Bezos because they’re all over the news, but they’re all over the news because they’re not normal CEOs. It’s well known that Musk’s relationship to his companies is primarily one of ownership and delegation. Bezos hasn’t been in charge of Amazon for a long time but people conveniently forget that at every opportunity. > it really doesn't seem like it can be that hard of a job. It’s funny how often I hear this about AI replacing jobs, with one exception: Everyone who repeats it is highly confident that AI can replace other jobs but once you get to the work they do they’ll stop and explain why it’s actually much harder than you think.

At that level its more about persuasion and personality than the ability to do the job. High performing CEOs can persuade employees, customers, government, media, investors, suppliers. LLMs still cannot persuade anybody right now but maybe soon.
