I’m used to seeing articles about AI being used for either highly scientific uses or for generating semi-entertaining nonsense. For a personal business involving managing appointments, documenting meetings, tracking payments etc, can AI help with any of that? Other things include undertaking CPD training, occasional advertising as well as maintaining a website from time-to-time.
The people I know who don’t think AI has any use for them belong in this category and work in the area of mental health, yoga teaching / training, nursing and massage therapy.
From your examples I suppose you’re saying that something like ChatGPT might help with planning, examining processes for optimisation or making long-term choices rather than day-to-day tasks.
I disagree with you that people don’t belong in business if they don’t see value in AI. I know someone who cleans for a living. They get enough work from the business directory and the system they have seems to be simple enough already to be a candidate for optimisation.
Eh, it’s the same thing. If LLM can help me design a better process for my day-to-day tasks even if it’s not part of the process literally it’s still part of the process. Just like any growth like reading a book is part of the business process.
Not even going to touch your second paragraph and it’s completely unrelated. Cleaning for a living is not “running a small business”.
They’re sole traders. They pay taxes, hire equipment, advertise and handle payments. It’s a business.
