How To Successfully Sell AI to Suckers.
AIBro:
This AI can do this task 100 times faster than a human.
ServiceProvider:
That's great. How much does it cost?
AIBro:
Nothing.
ServiceProvider:
Nothing?
AIBro:
Nothing. We just want the data.
ServiceProvider:
The data. That's okay.
AIBro:
And, other data. We also want other data indirectly connected with the task.
ServiceProvider:
I don't know about that. That seems invasive of privacy ...
AIBro:
But, not _your_ data, just _other_people's_data_ .
ServiceProvider:
That's okay then.
ServiceProvider:
So, what systems does it use? The interface?
AIBro:
Well, the system you have now, but with your secure systems accessible to whoever the fuck we're employing far away in different liability jurisdictions maybe on other continents.
ServiceProvider:
Okay! đ
AIBro:
In fact, the costs will be taken care of by your government paying for our systems for which in return we will share all your data with our friends who will use it in ways even we can't imagine. đ
ServiceProvider:
That sounds entirely secure and nothing to worry about. I'm in.
AIBro:
Thanks for your signature.
Actual implementation may be nothing like the demonstration and may incur significant extra costs.
ServiceProvider:
Extra costs!?!
AIBros:
DataStorage. Access. Audit. Contract Processing. My idiot son playing with other unconnected systems. Thiel Tax. Indemnity Indemnity Insurance Indemnity Insurance Insurance. P.R.
ServiceProvider:
P.R.!?
AIBros:
Well ... you're gonna have to explain that the AI system only mimics an end function and is not an actual process like systems and personnel you already have which account for 100% of the work you already do but will now be 75% of your costs as, in real terms, the new blended system will cost 120% ... 125% ... 130% ...
ServiceProvider:
Why does the real terms cost keep going up!?!
AIBros:
It just does.
Sela!
