"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
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 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.
