'Fake' models and AI will replace Sales Reps 

But AI doesn't stope there.

The latest iteration of LLMs forces us to be really good at 'prompting.  Which means we need to be better at asking questions, which means we need to think deeper before asking.

We need to be taught HOW TO think instead of WHAT TO think.  Our current eductation system, from Kindergarten to higher ed, focusing on outputs more than the process.  We need to be taught to think critically.  AI will force out the old and stifling modes of rote education.  It will.

Meanwhile Apple is introducing something about AI and IBM illuminates an AI concept called retrieval-augmented generation or "RAG".  Get to know what it means and how it impacts the rest of your world.

Explore, look around the site and enjoy.
