> having conversations about things you don't understand with a machine, where you don't have to keep up social decorum and can ask the dumbest questions should help a lot with improving the decision making of non-technical personel

This sales manager didn't know that neither he - nor his customer - properly understand the product until he was specifically called out on it (by me, as it happens. At least the boss laughed). Are we expecting GPT-X to sit in on Teams meetings and ask questions like that, too? Sales manager literally did not know he needed to start asking questions about the product. Tech team were calling BS on it as soon as he reported his conversation with customer.

"Speaker Coach - now with AI" isn't that far-fetched, given Microsoft's relationship with OpenAI and how quickly they did the same with Bing/how hard they're now pushing it
