Greg's Words
Artificial intelligence is all the rage right now; bigger than the digital copier, the laser printer, Xerox's, Sharp's, and HP's dealer conferences and earnings calls. It's bigger than the first calculator, the PC, Novel networks, the cellphone, and the smartphone.
AI, in 2023, is bigger than the discovery of fire or the invention of the wheel - this is not hyperbole and I know hyperbole.
West takes on the initial tremor of AI in our little niche. Good stuff.
Here is a ChatGPT-generated summary of the great, human-created article over at the Cannata Report.

"Tools like ChatGPT are easy to put into the same pile of unrealized hype cycles. Right?
Wrong. Unlike Google Glass, the Metaverse, Web3, NFTs, and other failed tech trends, generative AI is different. Why, you ask? What makes tools like ChatGPT, Bing Chat, Dall-E, Midjourney, and other generative AI tools different than the other fads we’ve seen? Why must we in the office equipment channel be paying more attention? Let’s dig in."
- West McDonald
The author points out the substantial investments by tech giants like Microsoft and Google into AI, indicative of the potential they see in the field. LinkedIn and Meta Platforms (Facebook) have also invested in AI, and Elon Musk's secret Twitter AI project further confirms the trend.
Generative AI has managed to escape the fate of being a passing fad by being user-friendly and catering to a broad audience. Unlike the metaverse, Web3, or NFTs, ChatGPT and other generative AI tools require only a web browser and typing in a prompt to get useful, rapid results.
McDonald emphasizes that customers will use AI to research their buying options, drastically reducing the time spent looking for alternative options or comparing products. He believes that AI will alter the sales cycle dynamics and the value of a business consultant.
West urges the office equipment industry to seize the potential of AI. Not only will AI enhance customer service, and shorten research and content drafting cycles for marketing teams, but it will also aid sales teams in better understanding competition and alternatives, saving hours of research.
