Bitch, please.

The job of a CEO like this can absolutely be replaced by an AI and nobody would notice, except they would find it weird the CEO is never in PR photos.

And since the company wouldn't be footing the bill for private jet trips all over the world to private islands for "business meetings", it would save a shitload of money.

If it involves an issue you can't just Google, it's something AI can't do.
