Yeah I agree with your point, I think all I wanted to point out is a problem in terminology, since I find the “manager” word confounded by the people manager meaning.
Also, I don’t think responsibility for business outcomes alone is enough to call someone a manager—a lot of roles do directly own business outcomes, especially at smaller companies, without usually being called a “management” role. (Though I can’t really think of a better word for this at this moment.)
However, the word manager does have a sense of “delegation/management of other agents or complex systems, usually to create multiplicative impact”, which applies equally whether you’re managing humans or AIs. I think that’s the sense I’m trying to convey when I say “AI manager”.
