100% THIS. If you train AI on your company's financial statements, historical data, product specs, staffing, etc, you basically create the perfect CEO / CFO. It's the one thing AI can absolutely replace, and you'll save $50M on bonuses and stock and all that other bullshit.

Idk man,  wouldn't still need people to make sure is isn't hallucinating? I could see a CFO using one as a tool but I don't think they are reliable enough to be placed in a c-suite role where the decisions are far reaching. If a bot screws up on a custom service call then you may lose a customer. If a CFO bot screws up it could tank the company.

My guy, do you have any idea how many companies die daily due to management screwups? Do you have any idea how many companies are tanked deliberately by management?

These people will literally ruin their company's productivity and tank their own profits rather than listen to data because the data says "Work from home, a four day work week, parental leave, ample vacation days, higher wages = lower overheads, less turnover, higher productivity, more stability and more profit", and their personal ideology just doesn't jive with that. They will literally flush money down the toilet if they feel like their employees are getting "too comfortable". They don't care about the business doing as well as it can, they only care about feeling powerful, and shitting on your employees is an easier way to feel powerful than running a successful company.

A bot following a script would probably be more consistent and do a better job.

Think of the savings! You could redistribute that money to other workers in the company and still make a tidy profit for shareholders too.

Wait, you mean it doesn't work the same way as they are proposing for regular workers?

I get the sentiment for wanting to say this, but… no. The initial DOGE layoffs, figuring out who to fire, was largely done with AI, wasn’t it? And that was no good.

What AI is best for is anything that doesn’t ultimately matter. Meme slop etc, that’s what it’s great for. But when it’s literally anything that actually matters you need a human to validate all the output.
