Serious question: do you not think these very executives are relying HEAVILY on ChatGPT etc right now?

No, they rely on "consultants."

For me, LLMs have been a very useful interface to tutorials for ramping up on new areas. That’s about it, IME so far. I suppose the executive equivalent would be as an interface to business books, case studies, etc. With all the variance in such a high dimensional space, probably higher dimensional than starter tier tech projects in an area, I can’t imagine that it would actually be very useful when the long run results are considered.

What do you think they’re being used for right now?
