Thoughts About Artificial Intelligence
Most of you have heard about the emergence of Artificial Intelligence and websites like ChatGPT. There is no doubt that this technology will impact business in many ways.
Eventually, it will likely replace research assistants in law firms and maybe even aspects of a physician’s assistant at a doctor’s office. One of the most immediate impacts will be on business development writers and editors. It is definitely going to be a game changer in what you read.
Just for giggles, I recently wrote the following question on ChatGPT and received the response below:
Question: Write an essay on business networking and quote one of the world’s leading experts in the field.
ChatGPT Answer: Business networking refers to the process of building and maintaining professional relationships in order to create business opportunities. It is an essential aspect of any successful business as it allows individuals and companies to expand their reach, increase their visibility, and establish credibility within their respective industries. In today’s competitive business environment, networking has become even more crucial as it can often make the difference between success and failure.
One of the world’s leading experts in the field of business networking is Ivan Misner, the founder of BNI (Business Network International), which is the world’s largest networking organization. According to Misner, business networking is not just about exchanging business cards and attending events, but it’s about building long-term relationships based on trust, credibility, and mutual benefit.
Misner emphasizes the importance of giving and helping others in order to build meaningful relationships. He believes that networking is not just about what you can get, but also what you can give. By helping others achieve their goals, you establish yourself as a valuable resource and build a strong network of contacts that can help you achieve your own goals in the future.
In addition to building relationships, Misner stresses the importance of having a clear and concise message that communicates who you are, what you do, and how you can help others. This message, known as an elevator pitch, should be memorable and easy to understand so that others can easily refer you to potential clients or partners.
Another key aspect of successful business networking is follow-up. Misner advises that it’s not enough to simply meet someone at an event and exchange business cards. It’s important to follow up with a personalized message or phone call to build on the initial connection and establish a relationship.
In conclusion, business networking is an essential aspect of any successful business, and it requires a strategic approach based on building long-term relationships, giving to others, having a clear message, and following up. As Ivan Misner, the world’s leading expert in the field, notes: “Networking is not about just connecting people. It’s about connecting people with people, people with ideas, and people with opportunities.”
Hey, I’m glad they listed “me” as the expert to quote! That said, this is actually written accurately using my voice in a very effective way. AI is going to have a major impact on writing content – not to mention other fields we haven’t even considered yet.
Congratulations on being credited as the expert in the subject.
I can see this being a big help for small business owners looking to create some marketing articles for the websites, “sell sheets”, and advertisements.
I can see this being a challenge in school where teachers have to decipher whether term papers and home work are the actual work of students versus AI
I wonder if we will appear more intelligent on paper because of AI than we will in person?
Since ChatGPT (and other AI engines) don’t site their sources, I an curious to see how many lawsuits are filed die to copyright infringement. The same may be true when AI is used to redraw images and with it’s use in advertising materials.
This has been in the coming for quite some time. Have you ever wondered why all the tech corporation have been pushing for everyone to store, for free, their images and information in the cloud (i.e corporation servers)? By default when using their services, they own the copyrights, and they can now exploit that for their benefits. Most people think it’s fun, great and are now willing to pay subscription fees for it. It could be very useful and provide great benefits but “bad actors” will prevail and will turn it into a weapon of mass destruction.
