With all this talk about robots and AI in recent times, it seems like it’s about time that even as a business or solo entrepreneur, you’re going to have to learn how to use these bots. It seems like a lot of businesses are actually using them as employees to handle various types of repetitive tasks — for example, researching the day’s news, or handling messages, whether from emails or other communication on one’s phone.
People just have these bots working 24/7. I know there’s the argument that people don’t like AI or bots because they take away jobs, but it’s something you have to think about, because it’s one of those things that’s going to be the way of the future. It’s something you’re going to have to consider, because it’s going to be used pretty much in every company, and if you don’t learn how to use it, you’re going to be left behind. It’s no different than the internet in the early days, when a lot of people said it was a waste of time. They’d still use fax machines and so forth, and wouldn’t bother using email or making a website — and look at it now, virtually everyone’s using it.
As an example, I’ve been looking at some subscriptions, and it just seems like there’s so much. There are bots for programming, bots just to help people manage their everyday life — booking travel tickets, itineraries — and at the same time, bots being used as a form of investment, where they go out and try to make you money.
Either way, there’s only a few months left, and I think that’s something important to consider in terms of exploring the tech in general.
