I'm 20 year full stack developer who also does a lot of sales. So I have somewhat of a unique experience in both the technical and human sides of AI use. I use AI quite liberally for development, research, and troubleshooting. But on the sales side of things, I don't like to use AI beyond auto-complete. As a technician, I see it as a great tool. When it comes to selling to other people, I agree with the sentiments in…
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.
