Do you really think AI can automate distribution, marketing, sales? That's just spam.

- tantalor 19d agoDo you really think it can't?
- weakfish 19d agoThat’s the implication I believe
- owebmaster 19d agoI'm sure it can't. A competent marketer can make good use of it but vibecoders just create slop nobody wants to read.
- esikich 19d agoYou're describing most people. Most people (99.9%) can't come up with novel ideas either. They just follow the latest trend. Art, marketing, music, etc. If you've spent any time in the creative spaces, you'll realize most people don't really have much talent. Skill, sure, but that only gets you as far as someone else's latest idea.
- treapassing-sil 19d agoHonestly growing up, I always assumed everyone could be creative. Until I started asking people to randomly create a name for a fictional character. Blows my mind how many people won't or can't do it.
- wordpad 19d agoI still get anxiety thinking back to picking a gamer tag or email username and not coming up with anything original despite unlimited options. Its hard to be creative without any constraints.
- treapassing-sil 19d agoNever understood that. Until I witnessed exGF sweat bullets trying to do them same. You're not alone. Group of friends I grew up with would challenge each other to say nonsense or make random lyrics to songs. NO clue it would actually turn into a creativity skill. Give it a try.

- owebmaster 19d agoAI being as bad as the average person in marketing is not good for AI
- razster 19d agoOh my friend, it can. We have ours running and using unique skills it learns from online. You allow it to update skills and see what works - from there it just keeps building better and better skill sets.
- LastTrain 19d agoIt can create more shit than humans could ever consume I’m sure, but then why? What new ventures/opportunities is it opening for most humans?
- fallinditch 19d agoGreat point, the shit is going to get more pervasive for sure. But also, there is the enablement of new fields of original and creative endeavor: I think we can already see this in some of the brilliant and useful apps being made, often by solo 'teams'. I don't want to play down the harmful effects AI, but the flip side is that the opportunities for original ideas are many and varied.

- LastTrain 19d agoI get the feeling a lot of people who build things with AI think they are in on the ground floor of something when in fact they are on the top floor.
- refactor_master 19d agoUntil everybody’s AI talks to everybody’s AI and tokens will be churned with no utility, and all the valuable business meetings will happen face to face behind closed doors.
- Buttons840 19d agoYeah. We are definitely headed to a world where, more than ever, success is determined simply by whether or not you're allowed through the closed door.
- root_axis 19d agoIt's still spam when a human does it.
