> even though CEO Sam Altman insists they will be able to beat "low-level" software engineers by the end of this year.

"low/high level" starts to lose its meaning to me because it gets used in opposite ways

Where are the low level CEOs vs high level CEOs?

I'll bet AI could do their jobs right now.

Can SOMEONE please write AI software to replace these people?

    Management consultants. Main attributes are confidence and ability to generate content. No need to stick around to see it through.

    Are you bothered by the fact that software engineers might be easier to automate?

      It's the opposite. An LLM is better at CEO stuff than working code. A good developer + LLM instead of CEO can succeed. A good CEO + LLM instead of developer cannot succeed. (For a tech company)

      Is that a fact? I mean, see the linked article; even the company whose whole business model lies in convincing people that that _is_ a fact is kinda saying “yeah, perhaps not”, with vague promises of jam tomorrow.

Even better, if you click through to the linked source he doesn't say "low-level" at all, or make any claim that is at all like the claim he is cited as making!
