A CEO's main job is to spout bullshit, which is also AI's particular talent.

an ai is also often wrong but confidently says they're not wrong so that sounds perfect for ceos too

A CEOs main job is to be the fall guy when the company goes fubar.

Except that never happens. They get millions and then go bankrupt some other company.

they get millions

Exactly their job. Their job is to take the blame. In exchange, they get millions to move on to someone else.
