@alcinnz @JeffGrigg @baldur @ton The technology is here. In many forms. It’s not going to disappear. Not using these tools is almost certainly a self-fulfilling prophecy. Luddites have always lost. Increased productivity is a fundamental business and even societal value — and it overcomes almost any kind of limitation.

@alcinnz @JeffGrigg @baldur @ton It’s really simple: through regular use, both privately and especially professionally.

Generative AIs are tools. I use them daily — and multiple times a day. I can’t see any hype.

Failing to recognize their business value, in my opinion, requires active denial and ignorance - or a massive lack of creativity.

@baldur @ton Is that an opinion, or are there arguments to support it? Are there even companies left that develop software without AI assistance? Or that don’t use AI to pre-analyze large datasets?

@JeffGrigg @baldur @ton Exactly this years-long and now further intensified use makes it puzzling to me to label LLMs, etc., as not good for business. What exactly are the arguments for that? “AI” (we all know what’s marketing and what’s not) has been proven to be extremely helpful for businesses.

@TheJen @elmine Be where your customers are. Everything else is nice to have. It's wonderful to be successful on the free, open web or even here on Mastodon, but the probability is lower and the effort greater. It's all in the mix.
