It seems to me that people think AI is somehow magic. Recently I led a product demo. The conversation went something like this:
End users (at my company) - Can your AI system look at numbers and find differences and generate a text description?
Pre-sales - (trying to clarify) For our systems to generate text it will be better if you give it some live examples so that it understands what text to generate.
End users - But there is supporting data (metadata) around the numbers. Can't your AI system just generate text?
Pre-Sales - It can but you need to provide context and examples. Otherwise it is going to generic text like "there is x difference".
End user - You mean I need to write comments manually first? That is too much work.
Now these users have a call with another product - MS Copilot.
