Everything from "unpaid bills are handled this way" through "the website has a certificate that needs yearly renewal" to "we need to report our earnings biweekly in Indonesia, and we need to retry the form several times before it works".
This is not fundamentally doable by LLMs because the higher ups wouldn't know what to ask for, and if they did it would not be feasible to keep everything in single persons head, no matter how AI-assisted.
So that alone I think guarantees a good amount of unreplaced jobs.
>"the website has a certificate that needs yearly renewal"
For example, why modern certificates are being dropped down to very short times. The push to automate everything.
>"unpaid bills are handled this way"
Any company that has things like this will start changing their process.
You have this idea (and maybe the AI company CEOs do too) that this will be like a container drop in. No, instead these things will be part of a gradual process change and human parts will eventually disappear.
>So that alone I think guarantees a good amount of unreplaced jobs.
What percent. This is what matters at the end of the day. Once unemployment reaches high rates over all age groups in a society that is used to low unemployment things go bad. It can take longer to go bad where you have social safety nets and jobs programs, but in places like the US that is communism, so expect the haves to shoot at the have nots.

Knowing nothing about how these things work, I wonder if the board will see it the same way? Even today I could see the following play out:
CEO says X. Board member puts a bunch of strategic info into ChatGPT on the spot which argues Y more convincingly than X.
In that moment, the CEO will find themselves arguing against a chatbot, which can gish gallop with plausible bs faster than you can say the word “transformative”.
Maybe they win the argument today, but eventually the CEO will be functionally replaced, and eventually actually replaced or watered down.
