AI makes for business with no Soul
Americans, when your core business model is not effective… people (leaders, think tanks, consultants) come along with the glamour / glitz to FLUFF IT UP. More style without more substance. More virtue signaling without more value to the customer.
The current FLUFFER is to build AI into your business. It was that Crypto Currency would make everyone millionaires already. But today the hype is all about AI. That AI will magically have all these benefits. Less work, more automation and profits. But your business LOSES ITS SOUL.
It becomes like Pop Son AUTOTUNE and authenticity goes the way of the dinosaur. While appearing more and more perfect at first glance, it loses the human factor.
Most “business leadership” comes down to finding better ways to make the client / prospect IMAGINE they are getting a good deal. Make them FEEL they are getting value. Making them feel served, heard, respected, attended do. Well all these are ways to talk about 1 thing: REAL LOVE.
Thus most corporate business is utterly fraudulent to the core. If you TRULY LOVED your customer, all those things would come automatically as part of the love package. You’d automatically seek how to give them an abundance of value.
Thus corporate America is all about FAKE LOVE — to appear loving / serving / attentive, while not truly putting in the effort / unselfishness that real love requires. Corporate America (and most other business on Earth) is thus utterly FRAUDULENT to the core.
Give us an easy way to imitate love, to simulate love. Thus AI is so attractive to frauds in positions of leadership. Real love would listen to and respect the needs/values/goals of the customer and INNOVATE and PACK IN THE MOST VALUE POSSIBLE in service to those needs. In reality, we’re the opposite — give as LITTLE real value as possible, while talking about how wonderful and virtuous it all is.
George Orwell would have used us as examples of “double speak” if he were to witness the modern America business landscape. We’re trying to play DRESS UP in costumes of care and value, while also tightly holding on to our American GREED and SELFISHNESS. It is fundamentally at odds with itself — thus doomed to collapse.
Any business that is not grounded in real love, is thus part of the fraud, part of the problem. But who will relinquish their selfishness? We are the monkey that traps itself with its hand in the hole in the box, grasping onto the nuts or banana. Any mindset of “how to maximize profits” is fundamentally backwards. Any mindset of “how to give the customer as little as possible and still keep them as a customer” is the quintessential violation of love. This engrained selfishness is SO CORE to the modern American Corporate that it is no longer recognized as aberrant to the design of humans.
The simple-minded will always get distracted by the newest shiny object. This AI “magic silver bullet” is EXACTLY how people are lured to chase the ephemeral MORE and end up with less. Don’t turn your value proposition into the elevator muzak of the moment. People will always want actual value. Focus on that.
