2. I have experienced numerous Disruptive Technologies
They all followed a repeatable pattern
“No Instructions included”
“No User Guide Available”
How to “Keep Pace” is
RARELY Provided!
As a Lifelong Disruptive Technology Practitioner
Hype, Excitement and FOMO Eventual “Ubiquity”
Slide 2
Insider Tip – My Focus is to make this time different !
3. Abstracting Technical Complexities from the User
Technology Holy Grail – “Simplicity”
Insider Tip – Usage Proficiency is NOT the same as Ecosystem/Domain Expertise

4. Becoming a ChatGPT Insider
User Level – ChatBot / Stand-Alone GPT Enhanced Tooling
SME Level – Architecture / Prompt Engineer
Implementer Level – Developer / Low-No Code
Disruptor Level – Strategy / Innovation / “Think Differently”

Insider Tip: Put more energy into understanding LLM Ecosystems vs LLM Foundation Models
6. “Peak of Inflated Expectations” / “Trough of Disillusionment”
ALWAYS Occur
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gartner_hype_cycle
My experience tells me the
LLM Ecosystem is
somewhere in this area
With more usage –
Limitations WILL be
Encountered
Don’t take my word for it
People are begging to be
disappointed (ChatGPT4) and
they will be“

LLM Prediction / Lookahead is NOT Sentience
Slide 8
Insider Tip: Sentience is a Red Herring Topic – Don’t waste time on it
Human Feedback Prompt Engineering
TIME investigation found
OpenAI used outsourced
Kenyan labor to make
ChatGPT less toxic
Users need to massage
prompts to get the most
out of LLM Models

14. What are YOUR Expectations for AI Answers?
Right, Accurate, Close Enough or Confidently Wrong?
Slide 14
Right
The information provided is completely correct and
free of errors
Accurate
The information is precise and conforms to the facts
or reality
Insider Tip: Focus on Situational Awareness / Decision Magnitude ( Key to establishing Trust !)
Close Enough
The information provided is nearly correct/accurate
but may have errors or imprecision
Confidently WRONG
The MODEL might “think” it is correct – and the
answer may look correct – but can you TRUST it?
15. Augment vs Replace Considerations
Slide 15
Will likely evolve to include many of the issues I covered in this presentation
Insider Tip: That which SHOULD be automated – WILL be automated
Augment Replace
• Problem Solving
• Enhancement
• Ideation
• Repetitious Tasks
• “Good Enough” activities
