CEO's job has become easy. Just slap AI in the product and profit millions in bonus.

For a few quarters until it kills the product. A golden parashute I guess ?

As always, incentives must be intelligently made.

I worked for a branch where the manager's bonus was tied to gross sales. So what did he do? Prioritize a product line that sold well, with low (actually negative!) profit margins.

He didn't sail blindly into icebergs; he targeted them like our factory was his personal pinball.

In this case, CEO compensation should have carefully nuanced incentives, not simply quarterly increments in stock price.

Or the company gets acquired.
