Rahul Jauhari, Managing Partner, writes about the lack of sense in how businesses seem to be using AI.
“𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐑𝐚𝐡𝐮𝐥, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐫 30 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 30 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬.”
A few weeks back I received this message in my LinkedIn inbox, which went on to elaborate how I had been selected to be in haloed company. While I wish to take away nothing from the others in the shortlist, the person writing to me seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact that I will be old enough to claim 30 years of work experience in August this year. Which means my age is already upwards of fifty years. Something that is evident from my profile.
A young gun, who I often turn to when faced with such ungodly occurrences, explained to me that this is mostly thanks to some kind of AI automation. Which possibly also explains why I am bombarded with messages of two kinds:
1: Those who offer to generate ‘massive leads’ for our consulting firm Flibbr® Consulting – upwards of 60 in a week/month.
2: Those who offer us various kinds of automation that will streamline our workflow and increase our productivity.
Not a single one of the misguided souls writing to me took the pain to read my profile. Those who claim to have been ‘deeply impressed’ by our website clearly did not understand jack about what we do or how we do it.
Either the good folk writing to me do not know what they are doing. Or it is their employers who have no idea what’s going on.
As someone recently said to me: 𝐀𝐈 𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐭. 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲.
If you are an entrepreneur or founder struggling with sanity in this confounding age of AI, you may find some answers in the first edition of the 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐛𝐛𝐫® 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩, coming next month to Bengaluru.
While we will focus on how to build a sharp, clear, differentiated brand in today’s times, we will also talk about how to use AI sensibly for your business. In a way it actually helps you meet your ambitions.
Over 2.5 days, under the guidance of the best brains in the industry.
We plan to have a cosy cohort, so seats will be limited. Mail me at rahul@flibbrconsulting.com me if you are interested in an invite, and my team will reach out to you in the coming few days.
Watch this space for further details.
