Good! This is how it should have been from the beginning. These companies should know that customers want to speak to humans, not automation. That's been proven for decades now. These CEO's are proving to not be as smart as they appear and it often makes you wonder how they got the position/role they are in currently.

AI is good for a few things, but I'd say 75% - 80% of what AI is being used for should NOT be the case at all. We truly need to stop embracing AI for anything and everything.

Why some companies are rethinking the use of AI

"Not much can be done, in other words. But there is nothing to stop chief executives pressuring Congress to revoke executive authority over tariffs. They already sign off $4.5bn annually on US federal lobbying.

Short of that they could also urge lawmakers to tighten the criteria for imposing tariffs, as suggested by the Brookings Institution, introduce mandatory reporting or strengthen judicial oversight.

A dozen CEOs demanding these changes would fail. Hundreds or indeed thousands of bosses acting as one — representing consumers, employees and suppliers — would be impossible to ignore.

Chairs and boards have to step up. Decades of peace and economic stability have allowed technocrats, operational chiefs and finance-wallahs to rise to the top of business. Many suffer from imposter syndrome for good reason. They must be replaced with true leaders of vision and steel, less skilled at empathy workshops but ruthless when it comes to fighting for what is right — for shareholders and, frankly, all of us.

A supine response to tariffs suggests the current lot of CEOs should be fired — as someone in the White House might say."

Had a chat with a chief of staff this week and now my brain is puzzling all over again about my ideal clients. They’re definitely CEOs and chiefs of staff (and people in COS-like roles). But narrowing from job title is so challenging.

My COSs skew strategic — they do the ops and admin work but they thrive as thought partners and in strategy. They think of themselves as future COOs (maybe) and I see them as future CEOs (and when I say that…

Here's the thing, the reason #CEOs and execs in the tech industry think #AI can replace (the majority of) their workers, is because they assume that the jobs their workers do must be simpler than their job (because they get paid less, so obvs), and they know in their hearts that #LLMs can produce plausible sounding bullshit at least as well as they can.

We're often told all about the daily routines of 'rich and successful' people, but have you noticed how many of them are... bonkers?

I explain why for BBC Science Focus Magazine. What better way to start the week, eh?
