You're allowed to think whatever you want to think, but your belief without references is not convincing. And the counterpoint, which is my opinion, which is also just an opinion, is that AI salespeople can convince your boss that AI can replace you, but in reality it can't. But even if it could, what we actually find is that what typically happens is that other tangential jobs increase in number as technology rolls out. When cars hit the scene, we all of a sudden had a lot of people paving roads and doing oil changes and working at garages and stuff like that. All of which didn't exist to any scale before the automobile.

But I think you're right that AI could easily replace CEOs and all variety of company upper-level management because many of those people are just blindly gambling or accepting bribes or quid pro quo deals with their friends.
