We can all agree the current generation of AI lacks humanity, but we are not going to stop using it because of that. Would be nice if we can get the energy cost down though.
And testability. Is the AI validated ?
In the sales/growth/outbound world, everyone is tripping over themselves to setup AI emailers, dialers, chatters, impersonating people. But I don't think that will give them the edge they think. I'm betting on relationship sales for the future so I'm working on (https://humancrm.io) as my take. I think genuine human connections are going to increase in comparative advantage.
1. Scam artists are more successful when they prepare lures that _most_ people dont fall for because if they don't fall for it, they won't swallow it, which saves the scam artists time. If, like many, we think of sales as fancy scams, AI will definitely improve their scope and capabilities.
2. The odds of predicting the right teams to win a football match are typically quite low. But if you generate all the predictions and isolate those predictions, say weekly, to a good sized group of people over several weeks, you're bound to have atleast a couple of parties who observe that you are either completely correct or very largely correct.
3. Grifting seems to be winning on all fronts, witness donald trump.

Ms Adams' story in the article reflects this, in some respect unfortunate, reality.

In my profession I avoid using because I really don't need it. There are part of my business where I want to focus and parts I would want to delegate to this technology. For instance, im not a coder by trade so I could see using some crash analysis AI[0] to help me debug issues.
