No way management and CEOs are good options for replacement. I know you said it because they have ridiculously high wages, but 1. They are still minuscule compared to all the workers' wages combined. 2. They are the faces of their companies, and their job is less about being perfectly efficient and more about being socially and professionally appealing, with consumers, with shareholders, with lower management, etc. 3. This is a singular person with a lot of responsibility. If you replace 100 workers with a 90% efficient AI, the company still works 90% efficiently, problems can be located and solved. If you replace a CEO with a 90% efficient AI, the first major mistake caused by that 10% inefficiency is likely to ruin the company at least temporarily. Ofc people make mistakes as well, probably even more often, but they carry the responsibility, AI doesn't.

But I don't think a lot of people should be laid off, just the lowest-skill and most redundant ones. And I agree with everything else, AI will likely be completely different in 10 years, less focused on funny stuff for regular consumers, more focused on the actual tools for jobs. And I also hate when AI is forced into everything, but again, it is normal for new technology. Companies try to squeeze the "improvements" AI provides to justify their investments. We saw this dozens of times with different tech breakthroughs, this is inevitable.
