On-Demand Humanity: Understanding AI's Real Potential in Manufacturing
Everyone's talking about AI—but most of the conversation swings between utopia and dystopia. In this episode, we cut through the noise with a practical look at what AI actually is, where it came from, and why manufacturing is uniquely positioned to benefit.
In this episode:
- Why AI felt "sudden" (hint: exponential curves are deceiving)
- The difference between generative AI and other forms of AI - Why LLMs are essentially "on-demand humanity"—and why they hallucinate just like humans do
- How CADTALK became the first AI-driven integration in our space back in 2019
- Why manufacturing has massive untapped potential for AI adoption
