A few days later, she came back with a draft plan that she asked me to review, and to let her know if there were any problems that I saw with it. A quick perusal made it evident that she’d plugged her notes from our conversation into an AI program and had copied out what it told her to do and sent that to me. I’ve no doubt this is just the first in what will be many such interactions with clients. I don’t blame her for doing this, and I was curious what result the AI would give her. We all know (by now) that this burgeoning technology can be simultaneously very confident and very wrong. The recommendation it gave wasn’t so much wrong, as it was just…off. Plan weights were assigned to modifiers and the approach was not something that could have been administered (for example, it suggested taking a deduction for negative loads after the first 2 in a month – loads change value all the time!), and it said that all GM$ from negative loads should not be included in the GM% calculation which would only have the effect of artificially INFLATING the GM%.
