I like how people talk about replacing actual workers with AI and everyone's reaction is "well, it's inevitable really", but replace literally the most replaceable job in the company with AI and suddenly everyone thinks this is how Skynet starts. Honestly I think an AI CEO is probably going to be more ethical than most of the human ones.

That's because actual workers don't have any power, so replacing them with AI doesn't give AI any. But if you go around replacing the CEO of Liquid Refreshment Organization it could start doing real damage.
