I understand that AI is a cool thing. It's amazing how far AI has come in the last few years. It can give you delicious recipes using only the things you have at home, help you do research, take over your homework completely or explain things to you. And programming too, of course. Oh, and pictures and videos anyway.
Every startup, every new product, every web application advertises it. AI. But do we really always need it?
Just Hype?
Everyone wants a piece of the pie and AI is a huge pie. Just like crypto was huge a few years ago, AI is now the big buzzword that everyone is talking about faster than you know what.
But is it just hype or is there more to it? No, it's not just hype.
It will and has already changed the world as we know it. But that doesn't mean that EVERYTHING needs AI.
AI simply sells well
And that already solves the mystery of why AI is used in every product, every advertisement and every application. It increases profit. But what should be much more important is whether it serves the product. Is AI being used sensibly? Does it bring added value? Using AI just for the sake of using it won't benefit anyone in the end. And I believe that the more technical the product, the better the customers know about technology and AI, the more obvious it becomes (hello Devin, you awesome software developer).
The cake is still big enough
It's already been over 3 years. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, AI. There are more models than Javascript frameworks. Okay, maybe not yet, but soon. There are many cool products that use AI in a really creative and creative way. And this is just the beginning. There are still countless use cases, so many creative applications of AI that you can use in your product. Maybe your product doesn't need AI. But if you want a piece of the pie, if you want to ride the hype, if you want to sell better, then use AI. But find a way to use it in a way that makes sense for you. Ask AI how you can best incorporate it into your product. That really works.
AI is cool. AI is new. AI is everywhere. Sometimes a bit overhyped. But I think one thing is pretty certain. We will never live without AI again. So it would probably be better to understand it better and how we can best use it. It's not a buzzword. It's not hype. But an opportunity.
