Deloitte's AI Agents Report: A Well-Meaning Mess 🤯
Hey AI Agents enthusiasts!
Grab your popcorn 🍿 because we need to talk about Deloitte's latest report on AI agents. You know those moments when your parents try to explain what a meme is? That's the energy this report is giving off.
🎯 What Went Wrong?
First up, they got their AI basics tangled worse than those cables on your office desk. They claimed small language models are trained on less data - that's like saying Mini Coopers must use less gas than SUVs. Nope! It's about engine size (parameters), not how much fuel (data) they guzzle.
Then comes the classic mix-up between supervised learning and GenAI. They're out here calling basic personalized ads "GenAI" when that tech is literally old enough to drink! We've been doing that since The Matrix was blowing minds in theaters, folks.
🎪 The Use Cases Circus
Let's review their use cases, ranging from "okay, you might be onto something" to "Internet Explorer has entered the chat":
- Financial Advisory: Actually pretty solid! 💰 Imagine AI agents as your personal financial SWAT team, monitoring everything from market trends to local news reports that your typical analyst may miss. Now we're talking!
- Dynamic Pricing: Oh honey... 🏷️ Uber, Lyft, and Grab are sitting in the corner like "Welcome to 2016!" This isn't groundbreaking - it's just Tuesday.
- Customer Support: Now this slaps! 🎪 Picture a tag-team of AI agents: one handling your complaint while another's already hunting down your replacement product. That's the kind of efficiency we're here for!
🎭 The Plot Twist
Here's the thing - Deloitte's heart is in the right place. They're like that friend who's really excited about discovering a "new" band that everyone else has been listening to for years. Adorable, but slightly off-beat.
🤔 What This Means For You
While this report might not be winning any technical accuracy awards, it does highlight something important: big consulting firms are taking AI agents seriously. That means more investment, more development, and (hopefully) better reports in the future!
The real question is: what wild and wonderful use cases for AI agents can you imagine? Hit comment and let me know your most creative ideas. Bonus points if they're more innovative than "dynamic pricing" (low bar, I know 😉).
Until next time, ciao!
P.S. If you enjoyed this newsletter, share it with that one friend who still explains Bitcoin at parties. They'll probably love Deloitte's report! 😆
