You are correct. The issue is one of projection. CEOs and MBAs think AI is amazing and can replace everyone because it can replace them. They are the ones replaceable. So they think AI is so amazing and they should use it to replace everyone else.

Folks doing actual work with meaningful output absolutely can and should use AI as a force multipyer where applicable, but they know they're meaningful work can't be fully replaced.
