Chat and other GPTs (ChatGPT and its predecessors)

Dall-E destroys the artists, ChatGPT the writers. Thanks to Large Language Models, children will soon no longer do their homework (by themselves), students will delegate their exams to software, lawyers could be replaced by bots, and in general we are once again heading for the downfall of mankind.

Or paradise, because no one will have to do boring work anymore, information will be much easier to find, and ChatGPT will patiently and happily explain every complex matter using language that five-year-olds can understand.

So which scenario is true??

In our current video, we refrain from wildly hammering ChatGPT with prompts and drawing conclusions from that, but rather take a look at the background and technical features. From this, it can be deduced quite well what ChatGPT and other LLMs can / will be able to do and which problems inevitably arise from the underlying approaches.

260 Chicken McNuggets: Where AI Pilot Projects Hit the Wall

Why do 95% of AI pilots deliver nothing measurable? Because the demo shows the system's best day — while production gets judged on its average. Episode 2 dissects the most expensive stretch of any AI project: the one between the applause for the demo and the Monday morning it actually has to run. With real cases — Klarna, McDonald's and its 260 Chicken McNuggets, the sobering IBM and MIT numbers — and the one question that separates the salespeople from the builders.

Polite, Confident, Wrong: What a Licensing Chat Reveals About AI Support

AI chatbots in customer service almost always sound the same: friendly, helpful, and sure of themselves. That's exactly what makes them pleasant to use — and exactly why they're a problem. A confident tone says nothing about whether an answer is actually correct. A recent case from our own day-to-day work makes that very concrete.

The smarter the AI, the subtler the hallucinations

Why does AI invent sources, quotes, even entire court rulings? Because it doesn't lie — it guesses, and we trained it to. The false sentence sounds exactly like the true one, and the better the models get, the harder it is to catch. Episode 1 uses real cases — Deloitte, Air Canada, a lawyer fined $10,000 — to show why hallucinations aren't a bug but a feature. And the one shift that turns AI from a liability into a tool you can build a process on.
