A9. Private in-house GenAI trained on in-house data with RAG carries so many benefits. Don't fear, we'll hook you up. #eweekchat https://t.co/mXIdE6yIew

A8. GenAI is already impacting online retail, Finance/insurance, journalism, and "normal" retail. It will soon affect education and manufacturing greatly. #eweekchat

A7. Private LLMs are the best solution for responsiveness, accuracy, and adoption

A6. #eweekchat Private models can be on-prem and secure (instead of OpenAI):

A6. #eweekchat Security can be solved by going to a private model:

A6. #eweekchat Yes, Public GenAI engines are a security hole.
1/3

[Dave Jenkins @davejenk1ns]

A5. Every company we've talked to wants to use GenAI somewhere. It varies on aggressiveness and the availability of an "easy early win." Most successful projects deal with reducing/optimising operational costs (call centers, research, product copy, etc.) #eweekchat

Here's a diagram:

A4. We advise our clients to make GenAI a private instance and use company data via RAG to reduce hallucinations and answer actual questions for their org. #eweekchat

[Dave Jenkins @davejenk1ns]

A3. The biggest weaknesses of GenAI is the lack of 'situational memory' and the enormous privacy risk of public engines. #eweekchat.

A2. Our clients are using GenAI daily to handle huge amounts of service emails, document OCR, and LPR #eweekchat

[Dave Jenkins @davejenk1ns]

A2. I use GenAI daily to generate drafts of content that I then edit to final form, and also generate images for much of our marketing material. Almost all the images in my decks are generated. Our company deploys GenAI in private environments, so we use it daily. #eweekchat

A1: There is certainly a lot of hype, mostly from consulting and dev-adjacent people who are visioning what _might_ be possible. But the actual development work that is going on is truly astounding, and maybe not as visible to the common end user #eWEEKchat

[Dave Jenkins @davejenk1ns]

Looking forward to discussing GenAI with everyone today #eweekchat

Peoples, are y’all on Threads, yet? It’s time to start rolling up the carpet here…

@scriptdave It still cracks me up how much you and I are doppelgängers.
