Ever since the launch of Chat GPT 3 back in 2020, I’ve been journeying through the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As a habitual early adopter, new technological advancements always fuel my curiosity. There’s a stigma and saying about AI, borrowed from Fight Club: “The first rule about AI is, you don’t talk about AI.” To be frank, this is where I find AI intimidating.

We ought to talk about it more, to gain a clear perspective of how everyday individuals are actually utilizing it. Yes, there’s a grain of truth in the idea that Generative AI could substitute certain jobs, but in the same breath, we mustn’t overlook the creation of fresh job opportunities.

Realize that Generative AI is still in its formative years. It’s akin to a fresh recruit in a company – needs some time and training to acclimatize. The transformation of Chat GPT and its various integration tools derived from its primal code makes it, to my mind, the most potent tool for sectors and jobs like marketing, customer service, product managers, among others.

Consider the hours spent by recruitment managers and HR crews skimming through resumes, hoping to find candidates that would align seamlessly with their organizations’ vision and structure. Industry experience is always appreciated. But what if AI could be the tool to efficiently bridge the time and knowledge gap for new hires? Imagine empowering your AI tools with industry-critical knowledge via simple definitions. The result? Your talent pool just expanded significantly.

Certainly, nothing transcends firsthand experiences, but picture this scenario: Welcoming a newcomer with little or zero product knowledge. Sounds daunting, right? Anticipate at least a three-month learning curve, during which they acquaint themselves with your product. Factor in the time you’ll invest in training and providing consistent support till they are ready to fly solo.

That’s where Generative AI tools come into play, acting as accessible repositories of your business knowledge. You no longer need to dissect and explain your value proposition for every persona or worry about mismatched tones in blogs, white papers, emails, etc. Yes, you can do it all with AI tools, but the key to access this potential is understanding how to use them proficiently.
