  1. Ep 70: AI - Friend or Foe? The Impact of AI on Business Integrity and Brand

    Ep 70: AI - Friend or Foe? The Impact of AI on Business Integrity and Brand

    This episode of the Virtual Business Show looks at the growing impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on content creation and business. It focuses specifically on large language models like ChatGPT. We don't look at the use of AI like robotics in business. We explore the potential benefits of LL AI, including increased efficiency and content generation for niche topics. However, we also look at the potential pitfalls, such as: Decreased quality and authenticity: AI-generated content can be generic and lack the human touch, failing to resonate with audiences. Ethical considerations: Issues like copyright infringement, misinformation through deepfakes, and the devaluation of human expertise. The episode emphasises the importance of responsible AI use, prioritising human oversight, critical thinking, and transparency. It concludes with questions to ponder about the future of AI and content creation, including its impact on creativity, job displacement, and human connection.

    Ep 69: Why Are You In Business?

    The Power of Trust: Debating Seth Godin's Insights on Revenue and Caring 💬💼 Join us for a thought-provoking discussion as we dissect a quote by Seth Godin that sparked debate in the online world: "If you take a lot of time to ask, 'how will this pay off,' you're probably asking the wrong question. When you are trusted because you care, it's quite likely the revenue will take care of itself." 💭💰 In this episode, we explore the implications of Godin's words, and the intersection of trust, caring, and financial success in business. 🌟💡 Discover differing perspectives on the role of genuine care in building trust and driving revenue, and gain insights into how prioritising relationships over transactions can transform your approach to business. 🎙️✨ Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or a curious newcomer, this conversation offers valuable insights to shape your mindset and strategy for sustainable success.
