I guess this depends on the kind of CEO, but I think a lot of the CEO’s job is to be a human being / celebrity with a perspective.

Is Elon Musk a better CEO because of the decisions he makes about his companies or because he gets other humans to follow him. Probably both, but you can’t exclude the latter.

Yes, this is part of it, (but I'll say, only a fraction of it.)

Big crisis at the company? Some businesses deal with very sensitive situations, which can include deaths or serious financial/info breaches. I discussed one of these with an org just this week.

Can you imagine the reaction to an AI that's scripted out a response?

"We're genuinely sorry... [insert 1000 words of generic feel-good garbage]."

We all know the AI isn't genuinely sorry, and good luck having it respond to the angry reactions from its own de-humanized response.

Or not...it likely wouldn't be able to tell when to respond and when to leave well enough alone. Not that every executive knows either, but still.
