AI: The Game-Changer for Nigerian Entrepreneurs · Closing Sales in Nigeria - Sales For The Nigerian Business Person: The Sales and Marketing Blueprint

• 0:01
  Hello and welcome to the show. Apologies that I've been away
• 0:04
  for a couple of days and that's been because I've not been
• 0:07
  feeling very well. So for those of you who have
• 0:10
  listened to the last audio sessions, I mean with all the
• 0:13
  coughing and the hacking, I'm sure you guys figured out that
• 0:15
  something was not right. So I figured let me take a break
• 0:19
  and spare you guys all the coughing into your eardrums.
• 0:23
  And then plus I've also been engaged with some client work.
• 0:25
  So it's been a pretty busy period for me, but I'm back
• 0:31
  because today I had a speaking engagement over on LinkedIn.
• 0:33
  I just finished doing a LinkedIn live session with Doctor Ojugo.
• 0:39
  Sorry, not Ojugo. Oju Ojugo.
• 0:42
  Sorry. I hope I'm pronouncing it well.
• 0:44
  And The thing is, I've been calling her Ojugo for a while.
• 0:46
  And then one day she told me that, you know, my name is not
• 0:48
  Ojugo, right? I was like, oh, I'm terribly
• 0:50
  sorry. I had no idea because I went to
• 0:51
  school with a bunch of Ojugo's and nobody ever corrected me.
• 0:55
  That is not Ojugo. So I was with Doctor Oji Ogo
• 1:00
  over on LinkedIn and we did a teaser session ahead of a
• 1:02
  conference that we're going to do next week.
• 1:04
  That is the small and medium scale conference, and it's going
• 1:08
  to be about how to use AI in your businesses.
• 1:12
  Now, of course, if you've been listening to the show for a
• 1:14
  while, you know that I am not an AI specialist.
• 1:16
  My specialty is in solving sales and in handling business
• 1:20
  development problems. However, when AI tools came out,
• 1:24
  I readily adopted them and I used them every single day in my
• 1:28
  business. I even use it in the recording
• 1:30
  of the podcast. Now, I am a human being making
• 1:34
  this episode right now. So this is not an AI generated
• 1:36
  voice. Don't fret.
• 1:38
  However, having done over 920 episodes, I quickly realised
• 1:43
  that AI is a lot smarter than me when it comes to coming up with
• 1:47
  clever business titles. So I just stopped making
• 1:50
  business titles and I use AI tools to come up with the titles
• 1:55
  for my podcast. So I recorded by myself, but
• 1:57
  then I tell AI to give me a title and then I just run that
• 2:00
  title. Because for those of you who've
• 2:02
  been listening from the beginning of the podcast, you
• 2:04
  realise that in the early days, the podcast title was just the
• 2:09
  first few sentences that I used on the podcast because I
• 2:13
  couldn't bother to come up. Because this whole thing of
• 2:16
  coming up with titles for posts and things like that, it's, it's
• 2:22
  hard work. So I just use AI to do that.
• 2:24
  So this is one of the many ways that I use AI in my own business
• 2:29
  and then also when trying to solve business problems for my
• 2:32
  clients. So because I use AI every single
• 2:35
  day in running my businesses and also to try and troubleshoot
• 2:38
  problems that are going on in my clients businesses.
• 2:41
  I have been called time and time again from last year up until
• 2:45
  now to talk about the use of AI in businesses and how we can use
• 2:51
  AI tools to grow our businesses. So we're going to be at the SMB
• 2:55
  Vcon next week. And for those of you who are
• 2:58
  interested, yeah, please sign up.
• 3:01
  It's going to be rather long, I admit, because there's a bunch
• 3:04
  of our speakers. I think we're about close to 15
• 3:06
  speakers from, we're all Nigerians, but from different
• 3:09
  parts, currently living in different parts of the globe.
• 3:11
  So I'm here in Abuja, Niger, Dr. Ojugo is here in Abuja.
• 3:15
  We have some Lagos based professionals, we have some
• 3:18
  professionals out of America, one person in Washington,
• 3:22
  another person in, I can't remember where.
• 3:25
  There's another one, most Nigerian business based
• 3:28
  professional in Dubai and I think in Oman.
• 3:30
  And so there's a whole bunch of us and we're going to be talking
• 3:32
  about different things, going to be talking about IT,
• 3:35
  infrastructure, project management, sales, marketing,
• 3:38
  web. As in it's, it's plenty.
• 3:40
  It's going to be a long, long, long, long, long session.
• 3:42
  So it's two days, each speaker having about I think 45 minutes
• 3:49
  worth of talk time. My own session is going to be
• 3:51
  maybe 15-30 minutes. I'll be aiming for 15 minutes so
• 3:55
  I can spend most of my time in question and answer because lots
• 3:58
  of people have questions around these sorts of things.
• 4:01
  So SME Vcon, you guys should be keeping out in mind out towards
• 4:06
  that. And also don't get confused if
• 4:08
  you see me on the stage talking about AI.
• 4:10
  I'm not an AI specialist. I'm a business.
• 4:12
  I'm a business consultant. I handle sales, business
• 4:15
  development, but I happen to use AI.
• 4:17
  So that's the reason why I'm speaking about it.
• 4:19
  So don't be confused. I'm always going to be sales
• 4:21
  guy. I'm not going to be the AI guy.
• 4:24
  So in the teaser session that we had over on LinkedIn, we
• 4:27
  discussed a bunch of stuff and there were a couple of
• 4:29
  questions. So I figured, let me just hop on
• 4:30
  the microphone real quick and share with you guys.
• 4:34
  So one question that was asked was about my mindset towards
• 4:37
  adopting AI tools for Nigerian businesses.
• 4:40
  And my own approach was please that we should all be using AI
• 4:44
  tools because it has huge benefits when it comes to
• 4:47
  ideation and strategic thinking. Ideation just means coming up
• 4:49
  with ideas. AI very good tool for coming up
• 4:52
  with ideas. We should be using it.
• 4:54
  It also helps us to clarify our. SO excuse me, our strategic
• 4:59
  thinking. Another thing I wanted to let
• 5:02
  the people know who are there was that we should ignore all
• 5:04
  this doomsday crap that we hear on on TV.
• 5:07
  People keep talking about AI is coming for your children, AI is
• 5:10
  coming for your jobs, AI is ruining the economy.
• 5:13
  AI is doing this, AI this, AI taking over the world, blah,
• 5:15
  blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 5:17
  It's just absolute nonsense because AI is not really
• 5:23
  intelligent. The modern fathers and mothers
• 5:26
  of AI computing were very very good scientists.
• 5:30
  Unfortunately, they are very bad philosophers.
• 5:34
  That is the reason why this term AI has caught on.
• 5:37
  Because these things have mimic human behaviour.
• 5:39
  People just think that they are intelligent.
• 5:41
  They are not intelligent because intelligent requires autonomy,
• 5:46
  it requires self direction and it requires self-awareness.
• 5:50
  These AI tools are not aware of themselves.
• 5:52
  I'm intelligent because I know that I exist, I have some
• 5:56
  autonomy and I can determine what it is that I want to do and
• 6:01
  I'm self directing. So that is why I as a human
• 6:03
  being can be dangerous because I can decide to wake up one day
• 6:06
  and crack your skull. So I am dangerous because I'm
• 6:12
  intelligent and I'm aware AI is not.
• 6:15
  It has no autonomy. AI does exactly what we tell it
• 6:19
  to do Char GBT is going to do exactly what I tell it to do and
• 6:22
  nothing more. I'm not going to tell char GBT
• 6:25
  to write me a 3000 word essay and then Chachi PT is going to
• 6:28
  say no I won't write you a 3000 word essay.
• 6:31
  Instead I'm going to draw you a picture.
• 6:33
  It's not When you do that, it'll do exactly what I tell it to do.
• 6:36
  So stop. Just ignore all these doomsday
• 6:39
  scenarios. Until these things become
• 6:41
  autonomous, self directing and self aware, they are not really
• 6:45
  intelligent. The best way to think about AI
• 6:47
  is to think of it as computerized problem solving.
• 6:51
  AI is just computers solving problems.
• 6:54
  So you guys stop being scared shitless.
• 6:57
  There are some issues that we need to address concerning
• 7:00
  privacy, but we'll get to that when we get to the section where
• 7:04
  people are asking me questions in Q&A.
• 7:07
  Then I also told the people how it works.
• 7:09
  It works through pattern recognition and statistical
• 7:11
  analysis. So it's nothing magical.
• 7:14
  It is information that has been fed into the Internet, and the
• 7:18
  Internet is just using pattern recognition.
• 7:22
  What is similar with what statistical analysis, what seems
• 7:25
  to line up with what? And then it gives you an answer
• 7:28
  because of that. That is the reason why people
• 7:30
  say AI is biased. And that's also another thing
• 7:32
  that just gives me a headache. You have very very very
• 7:36
  brilliant people scientifically but very poor philosophers
• 7:39
  talking about how AI has bias. Non living things cannot have
• 7:44
  biases. I cannot say my car is biased.
• 7:47
  My car is not alive. So people stop saying AI is
• 7:51
  biased. It's not biased, it's a tool.
• 7:55
  Garbage in, garbage out. If you feed it information that
• 8:00
  is not universal and inclusive, you will not get a response.
• 8:04
  That is universal and inclusive. So AI is not biased.
• 8:07
  So people, stop all that crap, please.
• 8:10
  And that's also the reason why you can use AI tools to find out
• 8:13
  a lot. For instance, let me come to the
• 8:14
  Nigerian context. You can find out a lot of stuff
• 8:16
  using ChatGPT about Igbo people or Yoruba people.
• 8:20
  But you're not going to find a whole bunch when it comes to
• 8:22
  Indani people or when it comes to Teev people.
• 8:24
  That's my own race. Or when it comes to certain
• 8:28
  tribes in the Middle Belt or maybe the jungle region of
• 8:32
  Cameroon, precisely because we have not put that kind of
• 8:36
  information out there on the Internet.
• 8:38
  So these are some of the limitations concerning AI.
• 8:41
  But please, let's stop blaming AIAI cannot think it is not
• 8:44
  biased. The reason why AI doesn't, it's
• 8:47
  not inclusive and gender whatever is because we have not
• 8:50
  put inclusive gender whatever information there.
• 8:54
  So the moment we start putting information about TIF people and
• 8:56
  Doni people and then the tribes in Northern Cameroon, we will
• 8:59
  find that kind of information. But until then, AI is going to
• 9:02
  be limited. And it's not because AI is
• 9:04
  biased. So please stop listening to all
• 9:06
  these very brilliant people scientifically, but they are
• 9:09
  very, very, very poor philosophers, and they're
• 9:12
  talking a whole bunch of crap out there.
• 9:13
  So don't let these people scare you, OK?
• 9:16
  Then I also said that the benefits is that AI is going to
• 9:20
  help you think faster, come up with more ideas.
• 9:23
  And so that's the reason why we should use it.
• 9:25
  And our job when it comes to AI is just to execute, take
• 9:31
  feedback, iterate. So if AI gives you 5 ideas, you
• 9:35
  try 2 and the two are rubbish, throw it away.
• 9:37
  If it tries three and three seem to work, but then number two of
• 9:41
  the idea seems the most promising.
• 9:42
  Take the feedback and then double down on #2 so that's how
• 9:45
  you use AI. So ignore the crap and then
• 9:48
  double down on what it is that works.
• 9:50
  Then I also spoke about how AI tools are free and easy to
• 9:55
  access because, OK, well, there's some that you need to
• 10:01
  pay for. But The thing is, for my work, I
• 10:03
  only focus on the free tools that are readily available
• 10:06
  because I do not want to go into an organization to talk to some
• 10:08
  people and say this is how we solve some problems.
• 10:10
  And then they now tell me that, oh, I'm broke, I don't have
• 10:12
  money. I'm always trying to come up
• 10:15
  with practical solutions that don't involve you spending more.
• 10:19
  Now, of course, you will have to pay for my time.
• 10:21
  I am talking to some people for free, like Zainab.
• 10:27
  Who else? So I can't remember their names,
• 10:30
  but they're mostly students so far.
• 10:32
  I have a couple of people in pH port, Arcot, UI, let's see where
• 10:39
  else. So there's some schools for
• 10:40
  instance, I don't know if I'm trending there or anything, but
• 10:43
  and it's nice to have you people on board.
• 10:45
  So yes, I talked to the students for free.
• 10:46
  You will have to pay for my time.
• 10:48
  But if I'm going to give you people any advice around AI
• 10:50
  tools, I'm not going to talk about anything that you have to
• 10:52
  pay for. So free stuff, the LLMS, the
• 10:55
  large language models, and then the GPTS, the generative pre
• 10:58
  trained Transformers, these things are already on your
• 11:00
  phone. If you bought your phone in
• 11:02
  2024, it's already there. If you bought your phone in
• 11:05
  2023, it's already there. If you bought your computer in
• 11:08
  2024, it's already there. Because like the Macbooks
• 11:11
  already come loaded up with a copilot.
• 11:13
  That's one of the AI tools, one of the GPTS.
• 11:17
  And then Gemini is a default. It's already on your Android
• 11:21
  phone. So if you use a Xiaomi like me,
• 11:24
  I'm a Xiaomi 13 C person. If you're a techno person, if
• 11:27
  you're a come on person, if you're a Nokia person, if you
• 11:30
  are a whatever person, this thing is already on your phone.
• 11:33
  It's dole is given. So no need to go and buy
• 11:36
  anything. If you're an Android person.
• 11:39
  When you open your phone, you load it up, you will find a a
• 11:44
  tab there, a folder already created called Google.
• 11:47
  It's like that on most devices. Tap on Google, the thing will
• 11:50
  just come up. You will notice one icon that is
• 11:53
  white, but it has a star in the middle of it and the star is
• 11:57
  running horizontal to vertical. Only four points, that is
• 12:00
  Gemini. Click on it, you're good to go.
• 12:02
  It's that simple. It's already there.
• 12:05
  You don't have to look for it. You don't have to download it
• 12:08
  then for those of you who are iPhone people, copilot is ready
• 12:11
  to default on your system is already there on your Mac.
• 12:15
  If you don't, if Gemini or copilot is not your thing, but
• 12:18
  you use WhatsApp and Facebook a lot, Meta AI is already
• 12:21
  embedded. Just hit the search function.
• 12:23
  You'll be able to use Meta AI default tool.
• 12:27
  And then for those of you who use Snapchat, and that is one of
• 12:30
  the reason why I love talking to you guys, because every time I
• 12:33
  talk to you guys, I come away learning something.
• 12:35
  And this is when I was talking to the lady from the University
• 12:38
  of Port Harcourt, the one who is a chef and an online caterer,
• 12:41
  and we're trying to solve some problems in our business.
• 12:46
  And I told her about Gemini and she's like, what is that?
• 12:49
  I was like, oh, that's AII, just like, oh, AI oh sure, no
• 12:52
  problem. I have that on Snapchat.
• 12:53
  You know, I was stunned. That's like, it's like Snapchat
• 12:56
  has it's own. Yeah, she's like, yeah, that's
• 12:57
  the one she uses. And we used it and it was pretty
• 13:00
  good. So if you don't know any of
• 13:02
  these things, what you've been using Snapchat Snapchat has its
• 13:06
  own AI. I've heard some people say
• 13:08
  TikTok has its own AI, but like I've not tried that out so don't
• 13:13
  don't quote me. I have heard it's them say them
• 13:16
  say I have not seen what Snapchat that one I've seen
• 13:20
  confirmed. So if you're a Snapchat user and
• 13:22
  you don't want to bother with all these other things that I've
• 13:24
  spoken about, just open your Snapchat and just continue and
• 13:29
  you'll be fine. So my second take was that it's
• 13:32
  absolutely free. Nigerian businesses use it.
• 13:34
  The thing is already on your phone anyway.
• 13:36
  You don't have to download anything else and The thing is
• 13:38
  already on your computer anyway. So just go ahead and use the
• 13:42
  thing. The only thing I recommend is
• 13:44
  Bluetooth keyboard because when you're using generative preterm
• 13:48
  Transformers, you're going to be doing plenty of typing.
• 13:50
  Type, type, type, type, type. Typing is a lot easier using
• 13:53
  keyboards in my own opinion. There's a friend of mine, she's
• 13:57
  in the social development space. She says no, no to Bluetooth
• 14:03
  keyboards. She has found a way to type at
• 14:07
  the speed of thought. She uses her thumbs and if you
• 14:10
  watch her work, it's like watching the flash.
• 14:13
  So if you're one of those people that is very good at typing on
• 14:15
  your thumbs, then yeah, ignore me.
• 14:16
  Don't go and buy Bluetooth keyboard.
• 14:18
  Ignore. Oh, then again, Doctor Ojugo
• 14:21
  Ojugo or yeah, Oju ego. She pointed out during the
• 14:26
  LinkedIn live that they are audio tools there.
• 14:28
  So you don't even need to learn how to type fast, you can just
• 14:31
  talk. And the audio tools are
• 14:32
  beautiful, they work. The problem is, well, at least
• 14:36
  where I live in Abuja, Internet is crap.
• 14:38
  And then when I travel to Markudy to go and see mum, see,
• 14:42
  Internet is crap. So if you're going to do the
• 14:44
  audio tools, then dictating becomes a problem.
• 14:47
  But summary, these tools are free Then OK, there's the issue
• 14:54
  of should businesses adopt it? Not all businesses.
• 14:57
  And my opinion was yes, you don't have to be a ten person
• 14:59
  business, 20 person business to adopt AI.
• 15:01
  Start learning how to use AI tools when it's just you and
• 15:04
  your wife or you and your brother or you and your husband
• 15:07
  or you and your classmate. Figure out how to use the AI
• 15:11
  now. Come up with your policy now and
• 15:14
  then, that way when you grow from three people to 5, from 5
• 15:20
  to 10, from 10 to 20, from 20 to 50, all you're doing is just
• 15:24
  trying to scale or institutionalise all the things
• 15:26
  that you've learnt and then to roll it out.
• 15:28
  So start now. In the small days, if you
• 15:31
  already a twenty person company and a fifty person company,
• 15:34
  trying to figure out your AI policy is going to be hard
• 15:37
  because you know it's not organic.
• 15:39
  You're trying to start from the top and figure something out all
• 15:41
  the way down. If you're small, then please, by
• 15:44
  all means start now. You would have figured out all
• 15:46
  the challenges organically. Then the question and answer was
• 15:50
  where we started getting into the dangers of AI.
• 15:52
  Some people spoke about generic content and I said, yes, by all
• 15:56
  means, I agree AI is going to be generic.
• 16:00
  Very. In fact, some people say AI is
• 16:03
  not artificial intelligence, it is average intelligence.
• 16:06
  And I said, of course, what? What were we expecting?
• 16:08
  Are we expecting these devices, these these things to work
• 16:12
  miracles? I told you guys how it works.
• 16:16
  It works through pattern recognition and statistical
• 16:20
  analysis based on data that was fed in.
• 16:23
  So of course it is going to give you the average.
• 16:28
  The onus is on you, the business person, to have subject matter
• 16:32
  expertise. So long as you are the expert,
• 16:34
  you're fine. You put a prompt into ChatGPT,
• 16:37
  it gives you generic information.
• 16:40
  If you're an idiot, you're going to take generic information, and
• 16:42
  then you're going to run with it, and you'll run into
• 16:43
  problems. But if you are the subject
• 16:46
  matter expert, you will know that char GPT has given me 12345
• 16:53
  number four and #5 useless #3 average number one and two
• 16:59
  promising especially that number one.
• 17:01
  You will now take that number one and start making more
• 17:04
  prompts to delve in and to explore.
• 17:07
  So that's how it works. So stop complaining that this
• 17:09
  thing is generic and not using this tool.
• 17:12
  My friend, Take your phone, use this thing that is already free.
• 17:16
  You are a big boy, you are a big girl, you are an adult.
• 17:19
  There's nobody who is listening to this podcast that is less
• 17:21
  than 18. If you are already the subject
• 17:24
  matter expert, just open up this thing and you'll be fine.
• 17:28
  The one that is too generic, delete the one that is rubbish,
• 17:32
  delete the one that makes sense. Lean in and explore.
• 17:35
  You are the expert. Stop worrying about generic
• 17:38
  information. Now the one that I agree,
• 17:40
  deepfakes, that one is a problem.
• 17:43
  I can be chilling in my own house and somebody will go and
• 17:45
  take something and make a video and show that.
• 17:48
  Show the video. Maybe, I don't know, maybe me
• 17:51
  stealing, stealing more and more in Zamfira, for instance, and
• 17:57
  I've never been to Zamfira and God willing, I will never steal
• 18:00
  my more things won't get that desperate.
• 18:02
  So yes, there's, there's, there's a problem there when it
• 18:04
  comes to deepfakes. But my solution was that we
• 18:07
  should try and put out as much content and take advantage of
• 18:09
  the Internet so that we already have some thought leadership and
• 18:13
  personal and public profile so that people can say this is not
• 18:17
  the kind of thing Tavishyima would do.
• 18:19
  Because I already have a podcast that has over 920 episodes.
• 18:23
  You guys kind of know that this guy can do this kind thing.
• 18:27
  This guy can't do this kind of thing, so that's my own way
• 18:30
  around it. But deepfakes, Yeah, Yeah.
• 18:32
  Now there's a problem, especially if you're a
• 18:34
  politician. When the next electoral cycle
• 18:36
  comes around, no more. It's going to be bloody.
• 18:39
  Because even before AI, people already started making fake
• 18:42
  information. They will say Peter OB said
• 18:44
  this, Peter OB did this. This is without AI.
• 18:48
  Not now. Talk of a time when you can
• 18:49
  actually use these tools and then create a video of Peter OB
• 18:53
  saying or doing something or a video of Tinaboo saying or doing
• 18:57
  something. So with that, I agree with you.
• 18:59
  Deep fix is a problem, yes. But then on the challenge of
• 19:03
  putting out content that has no human voice, my response is
• 19:06
  still the same about the generic thing.
• 19:08
  We're big boys, we're big girls. There's nobody here that is less
• 19:10
  than 18 years old. Can you just exercise your
• 19:13
  subject matter expertise, put on your brain and you'll be fine.
• 19:19
  Stop expecting this thing to write the article for you.
• 19:22
  Instead of saying charge GBT, write me a 2000 word essay on.
• 19:29
  OK my own thesis was on the the. What did I write on again?
• 19:35
  When I was in uni, my thesis was on the fuel the carbon Carbon
• 19:40
  emissions trading scheme a a way to just environmental issues.
• 19:45
  Let me just put it that way. So instead of saying charge GBT,
• 19:48
  write me a 10,000 word thesis on the European European emissions
• 19:54
  carbon trading scheme. So excuse me instead of doing
• 19:58
  that and then having generic content with no human voice in
• 20:02
  it, instead sit down and say in ChatGPT.
• 20:06
  I'm a student, I'm currently studying law.
• 20:09
  I want to write a thesis on the carbons emissions scheme because
• 20:13
  I'm worried about the environment and I want to see
• 20:15
  what business solutions we can use to create a safer earth for
• 20:18
  our children. In my thesis, I want to explore
• 20:21
  the topics of 123 and 456. I'm influenced by the writings
• 20:25
  of this, this and that that That and these are the angles I want
• 20:28
  to explore in my thesis 12345. With this in mind, what other
• 20:35
  issues have I not paid attention to and what other possible
• 20:39
  research avenues are there when it comes to this topic?
• 20:42
  Then you hit send and then Chachibiti is going to give you
• 20:45
  a list that, OK, apart from 12345 that you have written, you
• 20:50
  might want to pay attention to 5678 by professors in this
• 20:56
  school, this school and that school.
• 20:59
  And you might also possibly want to explore this and this and
• 21:01
  that and that. You now, being the adults that
• 21:06
  you are, will look at this list and you will see that some of
• 21:08
  these things make sense. Some of them don't.
• 21:10
  Excuse me, the one that doesn't make sense.
• 21:13
  Delete. Don't that make sense?
• 21:15
  You now know that OK, this is a possible research area.
• 21:19
  You now carry your two left legs, walk to the school library
• 21:22
  and start doing the research and write the paper.
• 21:26
  Have you used ChatGPT to come up with the paper?
• 21:29
  Yes. Is there anything that I've
• 21:31
  discussed so far that has been unethical?
• 21:34
  No, because this is something you would have done with a human
• 21:37
  being anyway, back in the old school days, back in the day
• 21:41
  when we didn't have these tools. And that's how I wrote my
• 21:44
  thesis. I didn't have ChatGPT and all
• 21:46
  these things. So I sat down and then I
• 21:48
  thought, and I had some questions and I went to my
• 21:52
  professor and we discussed a bit and I discussed with my
• 21:55
  classmates, and that is how my thesis was formed.
• 21:58
  It is the same thing. It's just that instead of asking
• 22:00
  your professor, you're now asking ChatGPT and is using
• 22:03
  information readily available on the Internet.
• 22:05
  Stop worrying about this whole thing of human voice.
• 22:09
  If you sit down there and you want this thing to do the work
• 22:11
  for you, then of course you deserve whatever it is you're
• 22:13
  going to get. You get in your business or in
• 22:15
  your in your grade in university.
• 22:19
  But if you're using this thing as an ideation tool, coming up
• 22:22
  with an idea or a strategic tool, thinking about the layer
• 22:24
  of the land and where should I go?
• 22:26
  Should I go left? Should I go right?
• 22:28
  Should I go here? Should I go there?
• 22:29
  You will be fine. Use this thing to come up with
• 22:32
  the ideas. Flesh it out yourself.
• 22:34
  When you're done, you can now take your thesis and throw it
• 22:36
  into char GPT and say char GPT. This is my thesis.
• 22:39
  I beg correct the punctuation. The place where I supposed to
• 22:43
  have put full stop, put it the place where I'm supposed to put,
• 22:45
  come and put it and then run it and it will edit the thing for
• 22:49
  you. Voila, problem solved.
• 22:51
  This is how we use ChatGPT and all these tools in our
• 22:54
  businesses and in school. Stop worrying about generic.
• 22:59
  Stop worrying about human voice, OK, human voice, generic
• 23:03
  content. It's a problem because people
• 23:05
  are being lazy. Somebody wants ChatGPT to write
• 23:07
  the LinkedIn post for you. Of course your content is going
• 23:10
  to be generic. Many more of that in future.
• 23:15
  Then some people wanted to know why to attend my own session and
• 23:17
  math sounds very simple. You could attend my session
• 23:20
  because mine is going to be the best session and it's going to
• 23:22
  be the easiest session. Most people when they talk about
• 23:25
  ChatGPT and AI tools, they're talking some high level
• 23:28
  conceptual stuff. But The thing is to grow our
• 23:30
  businesses right now or to pass your exams or to fix your
• 23:34
  family, you don't need high level conceptual nothing.
• 23:37
  You just need this free simple tools that are here.
• 23:39
  You need to learn how to prompt and you need to be able to come
• 23:41
  up with ideas. And that's my focus.
• 23:44
  You've been listening to the podcast for any length of time
• 23:46
  or if you've done some work with me in the past, you realise that
• 23:49
  I'm always trying to solve 1 specific problem at a time.
• 23:52
  Let's solve this problem, let's solve this problem, let's solve
• 23:55
  that problem. And that's going to be my focus.
• 23:57
  And that's the reason why I told people you need to attend my
• 23:59
  session. But of course, like I said,
• 24:01
  there are other people that are going to be there.
• 24:03
  Business development people, name day web development people,
• 24:07
  they're there. Project management person, the
• 24:10
  woman is there. What?
• 24:13
