The Evolution of Communication Technology

The transition from traditional typewriters to advanced technologies like ChatGPT exemplifies the evolution of communication tools. Historically, typewriters required skilled typists who could produce error-free text, but innovations like the IBM Selectric made it possible to enhance written communication and ensure accuracy even for less skilled users. While some technology improves the mechanics of writing, like grammar and spelling, it doesn't replace the need for effective storytelling and meaningful messaging. Ultimately, while technology enhances productivity, the essence of compelling communication still relies heavily on human creativity and insight.

In one of our most popular episodes, Dan and Gord discuss how entrepreneurs can leverage ChatGPT to save money, grow their business, and streamline the most boring tasks while keeping teamwork alive and thriving.

In This Episode:

ChatGPT is the next level of written communication that started with the teletype.
AI has not yet reached the level of being able to tell a good story.
Great teamwork is completing any project through greater productivity and achieving greater profitability.
If you’re wondering how an AI tool can be useful to your business, first ask how it can help make your team more productive, and second, ask how it can help increase profits.
Garbage in, garbage out: AI results are only as good as the instructions.
Dan points out that ChatGPT’s response is strictly positive because the company OpenAI is most profitable when we see its benefits and consume its service.
Gord and Dan wonder what exactly we’re being sold. Is this just a toy to generate meaningless social media content or a tool that can allow anyone to be a creator of useful material?
No matter what new technology comes up, Dan’s approach is always to keep a very smart human between him and that technology.
AI might generate the first 80% of the content, but a very smart human can take it to the next 80%.
