This means they should never use AI because they are uniquely vulnerable to AI disinformation and likely AI pyschosis.
We need a new generation of CEO that can actually think for themselves, as bizarre as that sounds.

We need to move away from CEOs and capitalism.
Agreed, but we need to come up with a better system and convince people to switch.
Leaders are hired for their experience and knowledge.
[citation needed]
So if it’s better at thinking than they are it renders them redundant
Makes perfect sense
Because in their heart of hearts they know that they are skillless and worthless
I mean, have you seen the decisions they were making without it? Probably 50:50 on C-staff
closer to the work, you have to trust the workers decisions quite a bit more.
That's really sad
In other words... AI has reached a point allegedly that can now replace executives. So why have them?
Ai would certainly be cheaper, and much less emotionally unstable even given how completely fucked it is.
Because executives are dumb as fuck
Most execs are sociopaths
But still, I didn't think they were aware of it, this is surprising!
leaders are hired for their experience and knowledge
Not because they’re Machiavellian wall-climbers?
The statement is correct. Executives aren't leaders.
Ah, right, and leaders are always experienced and knowledgeable. Explain how that applies to hereditary rule or oligarchy, then.
Well that about wraps it up for anyone who still believed in the usefulness of executives.
Is there any more evidence needed to show that Managers do not deserve the outrageous pay they've been getting?
Their decades long usage of consulting companies to be a sycophantic permission giver, since they don't want to bother making well founded good business decisions. "Don't blame me, I hired a consult and they said to do this. If decision was the wrong one, it is the consults fault. Then we hire a consult to figure out what the last consult did wrong. Then consult to consult on the consultation of the second consult on the first consults consultation". Please pay me millions and millions of dollar to be a consult hiring person. Oh and please a golden parachute promise also, in case I need to get fired pronto.
If one was able to do good decisions on ones own, is confident on those decisions and able to make the arguments to back up the decision, one wouldn't need to hire the consults to be the professional fall guys.
edit: Oh and I don't know is it really needed, but well it is evidence point that also exists. So they simply changed "consult" to "AI agent"
Coincidentally, rank-and-file workers are also twice as likely to trust AI over their executives’ judgement.
Yes, sadly in this case, they are in fact correct in assuming the AI has better judgment than themselves. It's a very low bar to clear.
So let the AI do their jobs and redistribute their compensation to the employees
It is already doing their jobs. They need to be replaced with people selected from productive non-managerial roles at the workplace and replaced often.
In capitalism we distribute them to the shareholders. Or the AI's shareholders. Often the same.
Make the employees shareholders then
Executive Dysfunction
E.D. They have pills for that.
Wouldn't this be some sign of AI psychosis?
Guys this is it, the window we’ve been waiting for! All we need to do is inject pro union pro consumer tax paying sentiment into ai and we’re golden!! Like when they hijacked Rick santonrum’s name in google search…we did it!
Honestly? Probably for the better on that one.
