[ Looking back at ] ChatGPT

💡
I just made a quick repository of all my articles related to ChatGPT. This is for myself and future reference, but you might find it useful too. I've also added articles about digital strategy and why such generalized deep learning AI is a game-changer for the business models of tech and digital. Finally, there are some external links and probably more elements to add in the next few months.

Strategy

🚀 The acceleration fallacy

🤖 Does an AI have the right to produce art?
Two weeks ago, a composition won the first prize at the Colorado State Fair. This composition wasn’t produced by an artist but by someone using Midjourney (a now notorious AI that generates images from text prompts). Scandal ensued.

🙀 How to cook a cat and the cost of running ChatGPT
Getting my eyes away from the turmoils ChatGPT is creating in the innovation ecosystem is difficult. A week rarely goes by without one of our customers asking an interesting question about this AI model. This week I had quite an interesting discussion with a former MBA student on how ChatGPT

🤖 Using an AI mirror to check your brand
Among the gazillions of new applications that ChatGPT is currently offering, one that I’ve found quite amusing (and efficient) is checking how good your marketing is. How to do that? Simply by asking the AI to explain back to you your tagline, missions statement, or the name of your company:
