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?

- Terr_ 5mo agoRobotics aren't there yet, it needs to go on golf playdates with investors and board members.
- mmmm2 5mo agoMaybe a virtual / Zoom agent could allow the elderly investor to stay in the game. When you get too old to go golfing you can still stay in the game.
- grim_io 5mo agoYou can get a lot of tokens for a CEO. I'd say it's worth a try.
- JTbane 5mo agoYou don't need custom built anything, ChatGPT could generate corporate initiatives and PR statements all day and no one would notice.
- ottoflux 5mo ago100% been saying this for a while now. the main thing AI will be able to replace is a C suite.
- pydry 5mo agoit's kind of like saying like you could replace a king with an AI. the position is a relationship to power more than it is a function with a productive output. a bad king and a bad CEO could be replaced with a spinning top with no loss in productivity (and maybe some gain).
- orphea 5mo agomaybe this is the way forward. Imagine how many tokens one could burn given C suite salaries.

- vjvjvjvjghv 5mo agoI think it will handle communication between the C suit and the underlings.
- mmmm2 5mo agoThe hallucinations would be a feature in this case.
- vjvjvjvjghv 5mo agoI still remember when I used ChatGPT the first time to write an email. I thought to myself “Oh. This sounds like 99% of the corporate communication from above”. We were joking that corporate had BossGPT for years and just didn’t tell anybody. It also made me realize that most the so called “creatives” in marketing and PR also just repeat variations of the same few templates. Not much real creativity there.
- m463 5mo agoand people actully MIND if your CEO is a liar. But AI is expected to lie^H^H^H hallucinate
- lawn 5mo agoOur CEO bragged about him "just building stuff" now (vibe coding) while outsourcing his other tasks to AI. I don't think that's the flex he thinks it is.
- hoppp 5mo agoI am building a project now and then will create an AI to manage it and be the CEO. The code is human + AI, the management is only AI
- phyzix5761 5mo agoWho takes responsibility when the AI does something unethical or illegal? Do we put the computer in jail? Or do we just look the other way like we do with human CEOs?
- rrauenza 5mo agoRemember the printer in Office Space?
- stvltvs 5mo agoIt sounds like you already know the answer.
- surgical_fire 5mo agolol CEOs in jail.
- celdon25 5mo agoI think Grok on x.com is a reasonable case study. There’s the stuff we heard about and then there’s a separate category of things that weren’t newsworthy, and only the newsworthy things prompted changes to be made.
- watwut 5mo agoTo be fair here, CEO dont take responsibility and dont go to jail. In rare case they do, they will be pardoned.

- vineyardmike 5mo agoWhile I agree that AIs would do a good job… Would you rather take instructions from a ruthless robot or ruthless flesh sack?
- yoyohello13 5mo agoWeirdly enough, I'd take the robot. At least we can pretend the robot doesn't know any better. The human is actively choosing to be a dick and profiting off it.
- vitally3643 5mo agoThe flesh sack is choosing to be an insufferable twat, and the robot either doesn't have any choice or has a decent statistical justification for what it does.
- ungreased0675 5mo agoA robot with access to all of the company data and mediocre decision making wouldn’t be terrible.
- dijksterhuis 5mo agohttps://replaceyourboss.ai https://replaceyourboss.ai (discussed 6 months ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46072002 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46072002)
- ozgrakkurt 5mo agoAI means mediocre. Mediocre companies are pretty bad to work in. So it would guarantee a soulless and pointless company imo
- ungreased0675 5mo agoMy charitable word would be average. AI means average. And an average CEO isn’t that bad. It’d be a deliberate trade in exchange for less spending on salaries. (just one very large salary)
- nobodyandproud 5mo agoI posited that one as a question. Naive and stupid, but it was downvoted and flagged away into oblivion with zero chance for a conversation.
- manicennui 5mo agoIt's pretty disappointing that people on this site of all places have no idea what CEOs do. Many of them are certainly overpaid, and like any other profession, many are not good at their jobs, but they aren't sitting around drafting memos and coming up with deciding who to fire all day.
- bluefirebrand 5mo agoI would never accuse CEOs of sitting around drafting memos or daydreaming about who to fire They're too busy playing golf
- dartharva 5mo agoI reckon such AIs are already in place, but by proxy. There must be CEOs somewhere who have completely offloaded what meagre amount of thinking they needed to do to some bespoke AI setup while they LARP around convincing people they are the one running things.
