Yeah! Remember COVID massive hiring spree? That caused some issues...

You need the CEO to be human because of accountability.
You want a human CFO because you want someone with a narrow focus watching the finances.
I would guess that an AI could diminish the importance of the chief counsel and many supporting roles to the CEO/CFO, but you couldn't reliably replace those spots without everyone else doing it at the same time.
The board is accountable.

they've replaced about 100 sales reps with chatbots. I've started seeing posts on reddit with people venting because they've lost jobs to AI too.
And that's just the LLM stuff. There's a massive general automation boom going on because CEOs got excited about "AI" and are going top to bottom looking for stuff they can automate in their orgs.
We're not ready for this. Not socially or economically.
Sometime in the near future there will be a CxO AI bot as well... not to worry.

If nobody works (cannot collect taxes because there's no income) and companies need to sell (possible collect taxes), then companies will pay 100% of their product just for people to consume their products. If the companies pay 100% of the value of their product, well, that's impossible and no possible way to the Government to tax income = End Game.
Transition vehicle... possible but I'm afraid that it will be worst than the reward system that we have in place. If people work, they get money. UBI is just to lower Government costs. The rest is shenanigans.
If scientists don't get paid, they use XX% amount of their time just trying to get food and water... and that's what nobody wants! We want them to think and come up with great useful "stuff" for the rest of mankind! People that don't have a job still have to eat food and drink water!
If you give UBI to people and take away healthcare, some people will die because they just spent their money on tobacco or alcohol. We Humans have flaws and usually logic isn't 100% perfect at predicting what Humans will do.
When we have an unlimited supply of resources for the minimal conditions to support life, then things start to change (and we're not so far to achieve that!).
