A second reason to blog here is to explore other megatrends in the technology space.

AI is the current mania. It does seem likely to be transformative and is the focus of the VC/start-up sector. But, to judge from past manias, its final impact won't in the same form as tools we can see now (like ChatGPT) or even in the same area. My intution is that the biggest transformations will come in the enterprise which is a very distinct market with different requirements than consumer software.

Paragraph.xyz has a ChatGPT interface built right in the editor which will make for some interesting interactions and brainstorming.

What kind of impact is generative AI having on the enterprise software market? Name three promising approaches in this area and explain how they will function.

Generative AI is significantly impacting the enterprise software market by enhancing automation, personalization, and decision-making processes. Three promising approaches in this area are: 1. **Automated Content Generation**: Generative AI can create reports, documents, and other content automatically, reducing the workload on employees and ensuring consistency and accuracy. For example, AI can generate detailed business reports from raw data, saving time and improving productivity. 2. **Advanced Customer Support**: AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants can handle complex customer queries, provide instant responses, and offer personalized support. These systems continuously learn from interactions, improving their efficiency and effectiveness over time, which enhances customer satisfaction and reduces operational costs. 3. **Predictive Analytics and Decision Support**: Generative AI can analyze vast amounts of data to identify trends, predict future outcomes, and recommend actions. This approach helps businesses make informed decisions quickly, optimize operations, and stay ahead of market trends. For instance, AI-driven predictive maintenance can foresee equipment failures before they occur, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

Not bad at all! It's not as good as what I would have come up with after a few hours research and writing, but it's solid and was generated in a matter of seconds.

Another big trend that has interested me is "the metaverse," or to be more precise, the intersection between gaming, virtual/enhanced reality and entrepreneurial tech. The big companies - Meta, Apple and Microsoft - have invested a ton in this area without so far any "home runs" to show for their efforts. I see that gaming occupies increasing mindshare among younger people and that the trend to virtual/remote work isn't going away.

I look forward to working through my thinking in all of these areas - web3/decentralized internet, artificial Intelligence and the metaverse.
