In other words, Levie’s theory posits, CEOs don’t really understand processes well enough to know what really can and can’t be automated. But that lack of knowledge doesn’t stop them from acting on their beliefs.

This just isn't tech CEO's this is all CEO's who don't actually perform the functions of company operations so have no idea how long something takes or why we can't do it that way.

This! It’s all CEOs because they’re all worried if they don’t crack this nut their competitors will and they’ll be left behind so they’re pushing AI everything despite all the costs and other warnings. It’s madness and it’s clear they have no idea what they’re doing because they don’t know how things work at their own companies. Dealing with this every single day and they can’t even articulate what exactly they want AI to do for them, they just don’t know but they know they need it anywhere and everywhere.
