ChatGPT

People ask me a lot, “What does ChatGPT mean for my presentations?”

The short answer: Nothing.

If you’re a CTO, ChatGPT and AI are helping your coders a lot. They probably save them boatloads of time. They might even be helping clean up their code or even write blocks of code that would be a waste of time for a human.

But when you’re making a mission-critical presentation, ChatGPT and AI will only make you slightly better than average. And when you are asking the board to authorize a $10 million spend, or telling a recalcitrant customer service department why a new piece of software is going to make their lives better, “slightly above average” is not where you want to be.
