Why would people want to give the power and prestige of an executive position to a computer program?

>>djur+(OP)
If the superintelligence can increase the value more than a human, I suppose the owner don't care if the position is held by a human or an AI. Especially if the competitor is already run that way, and doing really well.

Because the humans overestimate the upside, underestimate the downside, and are often too lazy to check the output.

There's power and prestige in money, too, not just the positions.
