Maybe it's "Half of all exec can be replaced with AI in 2 years"

Technically true, since you could also just replace them with nothing

That's what this means. People whose job is approximating trends to fit in and not do too much harm think that an approximation system is going to replace half the jobs.

That's not even critique of them - somebody should do those jobs until there is a replacement. And they consist in large part of diplomacy and such very human interactions, it's a bit like with replacing prostitutes with machines. Same problem.
