Great post. I sympathize with many people's reluctance and fear, but I am getting tired of hearing their opinions when they don't know what they're talking about.
Honestly there’s a lot of ‘blame the user’ here. For 99% of people AI is only useful as a slightly better google search. There’s simply no AI use case yet with significant TAM.
Getting reminded of the last job I held years ago - implementing technical support for marketing op's in a large tech company. Just for the audacity of suggesting to use an off-the-shelf customizable A.I. which could help save hours of work from dozens of positions in an unbelievably overcrowded dept - instead of spending years training and refining a custom model for simple, generalized use - got the boot "for not being in line with the company" ??
Well, feeling pretty much vindicated by now. Trying to save millions of dollars isn't in my JD.
Well done. I've tried VERY hard to get the people I care about to step on the moving platform already. I may share this with some of them.
Some things I write to be selfish, and some things I write to be shared. This is the latter - glad it resonated!

Love this, mucho
I know many I can share this guide with….
Very useful information, Charlie, thanks. While I stepped in the mud already, I am going to comply
