And what is exactly wrong with that? I will gladly help build better AI models, which will help me do my job better in the future, learn faster, run my business, and free up some of my time. Luddites of our age are pretty annoying. #ai #technology #progress #growth

Do you know why Microsoft (who owns LinkedIn) is "honoring" *you* by inviting you to answer "expert" questions that you're possibly not an expert on? First of all you should ask yourself whether the invitation was made by a computer or a person. With the scale of things on LinkedIn that question probably answers itself. The next question you should ask yourself is whether you think that the expert questions that are asked are generated a computer or a person. Well yes, it's fairly easy to also speculate that they are also automatically generated. If you agree so far, this is the kicker: why would one of the largest investors in the AI (machine learning) market automate the harvesting of human answer to generic automatically generated questions? You should have figured it out by now. You're simply food for the AI machine. Don't waste your time. You're being played for a fool.

Do not feed the animal! This is a synonymous caution in a zoo or in a neighborhood or park where some humans love to feed animals especially birds. If you feed the birds they would always come back to haunt you with a unpleasant surprise of droppings from the sky on your street, under the trees that give shade but now gives a lot of mess. God takes care of animals who are not captive and humans take care of them who are captive. So why are humans still feeding animals? Well there might be a correlation between this and why humans feed AI with answers. Are you being used by AI for answering expert questions for LinkedIn? Read an insightful article below admonishing if you have answer those questions to understand LinkedIn is using your information to their advantage and for free. So would you stop feeding the animal from LinkedIn?

Yesterday Microsoft announced an addition to the keyboard, first in 30 years! An AI Key. AI is a social change we have not seen since the introduction of the iPhone to our lives. As a techie I can geek out about AI but as a Sales Professional the opportunities that comes with social change like this happens very rarely. To be more specific we are seeing generative LLM becoming a daily tool in the way humans are communicating with data sources. Conversing with data is a social behavior change...where machines offer human like communication channel that is so much more intuitive and simple as compared to all alternatives. This is a generational social change which makes it even more exciting. The days of Google Search are numbered but it will morph into the largest corpus for generative LLM by Google's Bard in this example. Get use to chatting with your data rather than querying for information. Its both fun, effective and intuitive at the same time when used properly. Coming from the Enterprise space we sometimes forget that the end-user always became one before they turn into an enterprise corporate user. Understanding this shift is no little shift. With that comes opportunities and risks to those who do not keep up with their tech. Ironically, as someone that manages development teams and daily standup calls I can say that some aspects of Generative AI are by far less complex as compared to building a cybersecurity enterprise product from the ground up. That's both an advantage and a risk, though the advantage may be self explanatory, the risk is for software vendors to miss the impact of this user behavior change when building their products. That's why I'm writing on this topic on Forbes and the reason we have decided to focus on Generative LLM solutions now offered in multiple verticals. From healthcare to Real-Estate and Finance...this type of social change happens once in couple of decades. This post was not written with AI as I keep AI for automating all mundane tasks I no longer do :) #realesate #aiadoption #aichatbots

The increasing hype around AI technology has led tech companies to develop innovative products like generative AI tools. However, monetizing these early products can be challenging. Such tools are still unproven and require extensive resources to operate. The high cost of running powerful servers with expensive chips and high-power consumption presents a significant barrier. As companies like Microsoft navigate this landscape, finding effective business models will be crucial to make early AI products a viable option.

AI isn't just a buzzword at Microsoft - it's driving real, tangible growth. In their recent earnings call, Microsoft made it abundantly clear that AI isn't just a part of their future strategy, it's a critical component of their growing success. I couldn't agree more. Microsoft's rapid growth and success is a testament to the potential of AI and machine learning. With AI at the core of their strategic initiatives, they are paving the way for the future, setting an example for other businesses to follow. Under the leadership of Satya Nadella, Microsoft is making AI more than just a concept; they're making it part of their DNA. They're showing us the potential of AI when it's used to its full potential. This just goes to show that AI isn't just about flashy tech or futuristic dreams - it's about real, measurable growth.
