Otoh middle management often provides the human layer, something chatgpt can’t do. What would you replace manager 1:1 with? Planning? Coaching? Frustration venting? Team building?

> functions like CEO and a lot of the executive suite - are under threat of just being replaced

By what? A Board-hired AI?

Half of your marketing can already be replaced with AI, and CMO's strategy is better generated by ChatGPT. Quite a few people on the marketing team should be shaking...

Quite a few CEOs should just sit on the board and stick to reviewing an AI generated strategy implementation plan. Because it's still the board that decides on the strategy, while CEO typically is focused on the implementation of said strategy.

CEO as a fulltime position is definitely under threat here.

Agree.

> Quite a few CEOs should just sit on the board and stick to reviewing an AI generated strategy implementation plan

Generating strategy is an important part of a CEO’s job. But it’s far from the main one. Their job is, centrally, about people. Managing relationships external and internal. That is AGI-territory work.

Disagree about CEO. A hired CEO, not director/owner/founder, is not a strategy creator.
