Joe Krout, a graphic designer and Sapulpa transplant from Tulsa, recently spoke about artificial intelligence (AI) at a Sapulpa Chamber of Commerce Business Over Breakfast event. Krout addressed concerns about AI by explaining that current AI models operate at the level of a seven-year-old child, lacking critical thinking skills and emotional intelligence. However, he emphasized that AI can be a useful tool in marketing and research, assisting with tasks such as content creation and information gathering. Krout also highlighted the drawbacks of AI, including the potential for fabricating information and the importance of verification. He expressed his belief that AI will continue to evolve and improve in the coming years. Krout encouraged business owners to learn how to leverage AI as a tool to enhance their businesses. The Sapulpa Chamber holds Business Over Breakfast meetings once a month. [aea95b54]
