AI-driven sales

(posted 10/1/2023)

CrossnoKaye posts still pop up in my LinkedIn feed, with two posts of note indicating that the company is trying to ride the post-GPT wave. Now it markets itself not as SaaS but as "intelligent control systems and AI-driven applications", urging customers to adopt the AI early "to gain a significant advantage before it will soon become mainstream." (Emphasis mine.)

In another, the company tells potential customers that unless they use AI they will lose their job:

It would seem that even the company Chief Revenue Officer who posted the picture is unsure, or uncomfortable, about using this sales tactics.

In fairness, CrossnoKaye is neither alone nor the worst in trying to take advantage of the recent public interest -- and fears -- about AI, but, as I have posted on my LinkedIn pages multiple times, and as early as January 2023, I expect the speculative AI bubble will burst in the next 12 months and possibly by the end of the year.
