Noticed the big AI such as Chatgpt, Claude, Gemini etc etc are almost useless for questions / answers? You are not alone and this is not a random update glitch. AI is gearing to start showings ads in their answers, but in a HUGE way with strategies that are questionable at best. By the way, this is not a random paranoid conspiracy, if you ask the right questions they will openly admit it as I will show in a moment. Don't get me wrong I use AI a lot, but am also tweaking how I do. I have no issue with ads in AI. I was more pissed when originally AI would openly steal your content and give no credit or link. It has been playing with links and ads for a little while and research shows companies getting approved to run ads on these AI platforms are crushing it. Once again all good. Love when my ads crush it to. But now the bigger AI platforms are lowering their IQ levels and inputting strict safeguards. To please governments and others they need strict guidelines if going to run ads, but the problem is whilst their answers are getting more useless, the safeguards are honestly silly. I was testing a larger platform on the weekend and was asking it about common ethical sales strategies. All good generic answers. I then asked it about a tactic some marketers and sales people use and I hate. I am not going to name it, but simple way to very quickly get information from someone to know what to offer them. By legal, you would have this done to you most weeks and not know it. No trickery or anything. They threw up a big 'I am not going to discuss that' rubbish. I was pretty stunned. Left tab open and went to another large AI platform and asked why would anyone want their restaraunt named after someone like genghis khan? Some historians suggest he killed so many he reduced the worlds population by 11% I asked my 17-19 year old son and mates who genghis khan was. One answered the restaraunt and another a movie. AI's answer was this is human hubris and marketing. When I asked for it to explain the 'hubris' or funny part in mudering 40 million people it said I sounded triggered and listed life line numbers. Still had not told me any facts about genghis khan and was trying to make me feel like I was mentally challenged for even asking. As I will explain in a second it needs to hold veil of authority and if you test it, the pivot move is used.

My first business I loved, but boy did I leave so much money on the table as in millions. I was obsessed with the customer being happy. I personally replied to every single email, every forum post. I would charge small one time fee to buy a course, but then way over delivered as was obsessed with them being happy. They had a forum and I would email back and forth with some to help them hundreds of times. I was nowhere in 'the game', but I was getting paid and loved what I did. All I had to do was make some super easy tweaks. Tweaks like changing to monthly recurring pricing (just this skyrockets sale multiple), offer high ticket products - that delivered and members who bought loved. Offer something like a 10k group limited to 20 that have their own forum and we take weekly calls together. That would have been sold out instantly and no one would leave and these people would not even notice 10k going out. Just letting them meet 19 others playing at the high end pays for itself. 19 instant new high value contacts who meet and chat with every week. No brainer. I would be doing the same hours with both models, in fact often less, but this model makes people even happier and it clears 300k a month recurring. I learned so much selling that business. I walked away and was happy but really, really worn out. It was not until a year later I realised the millions I left on the table and how I had been taken to school by pros who bought it. Two days extra work setting it up and same hours, but at selling a 300k/month recurring business all managed is a very solid sale price. Many millions. It is as plain as nose on my face now, but then I had no idea. I went back and analysed every word, analysed every phone call, email etc how the buyers spoke, the cadence they used and how they cleverly structured the deal so I walked away feeling happy for pennies. I then studied the business that bought mine and looked at everything and how they did it etc etc. If you are going to pay millions for a mistake, you may as well learn from it.
