Last week, I attended a fantastic panel discussion on GenAI

My Standout Quotes of the Night:

🗣️ “The LLM is an employee, so be nice to it!”
🗣️ “Note, the LLM will never say ‘no’ or ‘I don’t know’.”
🗣️ ”AI can’t be held accountable at the end of the day. That’s still on us.”

Huge thanks to trg.recruitment, Phill Bateman, The Roundabouts, HerStory and Gousto for organising and hosting a great event. And also thanks to Gousto for an incredible spread! 😋

My Key Takeaways & New AI Speak

🚀 The AI revolution affects everyone. Leverage it, automate manual tasks and free up time for creativity. Stay ahead and aim for 10x growth.

🤖 Have “mechanical sympathy” for LLMs. Experiment to understand how they work and how to get the best results. And don’t “rage quit” after one bad try, it’s an iterative process!

🔍 AI has blind spots. It can recognise patterns, but can’t always tell the story – that’s our job as humans.

⚠️ Worried about AI “hallucination” (trust)? As tasks and data get more complex, challenge it. Ask where it got its outputs and how. Test it with things you already know to learn its limits.

⏳ Regularly dedicate just 15 minutes to experimenting. If it feels overwhelming, start small. Pick one tool and try something simple, even meal planning!
