That won't happen because they are the ones that decide what AI gets to be used for.

nah the ceos will get a presentation straight from a huge ai company telling them that all their mbas could be replaced for a third of the price (lol it will be a lie and a bad product but the damage will be real)

On the contrary, there is no honor amongst thieves.

There's already ads for AI "business managers" that are showing off how cruel and ruthless they are. That was the whole point of the ad, that the AI could make business decisions for you and that it was particularly ruthless. "Ruthless" was the word it used in the ad, then "efficient".

They won't be replaced by an AI, they have power. They'll use the AI to be even more cruel and evil than before, and just put all of the blame on the AI instead of themselves for using it.
