A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

What does BDR mean in this context ?
Ok I also had this question and everyone was just cracking jokes instead of answering it.
Business Development Representative is the most likely correct answer given the context
Oh god.
I think ive just realised that this bot scans your emails for "prospects" and tries to schedule meetings with them?
The fuck is wrong with people.
I dont necessarily hate AI, I use it day to day at work.
But this is absurd. Any clunker emailing me has no chance of securing an appointment. What a way to communicate with potential new customers.
I hope you realize that you're part of the problem. Stop legitimizing this shit.
If you get upset every time you hear about AI, you're going to spend the rest of your life being mad.

Is that why all the AI company logos look like top-down views of the poop emoji or a sphincter muscle?
I'm assuming it's for "bad disgusting robot". But maybe that'd make too much sense.

what the other guy said. Business Development is basically b2b sales.
But I used to work with a lot of b2b salesman. Yeah a lot of the products I bought were expensive but one reason for that was the sales people. Often they would come to my company, setup a demo using our products to confirm they would work as intended, when delivered they would be present to verify proper setup and operation. About the only part an Ai might be able to do is help in selection of proper options for your application, for example on a computerized microscope if you're looking for small features it's sometimes better to get B&W camera instead of color as it can detect smaller differences in contrast between two areas. Maybe an Ai could potentially determine and recommend that(not with current tech but in the future maybe) but every other aspect of technical b2b sales would be impossible.
