Bruce Sterling @bruces*Hey, good job there, used car salesman

OLD Bhawthorne account
George Station@harmonygritz @nazgul @bruces I prompted with what information it did have and the response was availability, pricing, trims, and specific details. So I asked for a table with that. Availability for all was āin stockā. Pricing for all was āVariesā. There was a list of trims for each model which was actual useful information, and the āspecific detailsā was things like SUV, Truck, etc. unfortunately, they seem to have limited the response length because the table cut off half way through.
@harmonygritz @nazgul @bruces I could make a much cheaper chat bot which had various canned responses that said, āI donāt have that information. Hereās the number of our sales department.ā It would amount to the same basic thing.
@bhawthorne @nazgul @bruces This is all great for having fun on social media. But bottom line, we shouldn't expect a business like a car dealership, even one an hour away from the heart of Silicon Valley, to know what they're doing with genAI.
Someone may have sold them a bill of goods using their own marketing techniques.
@harmonygritz @bhawthorne @bruces That pretty much sums up the new āAIā. Snake oil sold to people who donāt know better.
It seems very obvious to a lot of us here because this is a very technical and social media savvy crowd. But when I step away from here and talk to very technical folks who arenāt part of these discussionsā¦they have no idea these issues are even being *raised*. They see the MSM articles all going gaga, and they assume the VCs know what theyāre doing.
