Salesforce today released a survey of 515 business IT leaders which indicates they believe Generative AI will be game-changing, and the respondents are ready to adopt Generative AI. The headline from the research is 67% of respondents will be prioritizing Generative AI in the next 18 months, according to this press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been using Generative AI myself, and I\u2019ve grown accustomed to using it as a developer and an analyst. I’ll start out this post by sharing some of my experiences! Next, after we examine this no-brainer Salesforce research, I\u2019ll opine a bit on what kinds of impacts we should expect from Generative AI in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimate Bicycle for the Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s funny I used the term \u201cno-brainer\u201d to refer to the Salesforce research on Generative AI. That is because \u201cno-brainer\u201d was one of the favorite expressions of Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Computer and friend of Marc Benioff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another favorite expression of Steve Jobs was that a personal computer is a bicycle for the mind. Just like how that bicycle multiplies the power of your body to move from place to place, a computer multiplies the power of your mind to be creative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I immediately thought of the phrase when I first started working with OpenAI ChatGPT<\/a>. To me, it seems like ultimate expression yet of the possibility that phrase evokes. It wasn\u2019t because I fell in love with the chatbots prose, or I was offended at its political leanings. It was how the thing handles generating code. Here\u2019s one of the first tasks I threw at it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Create a Salesforce Apex class called HTTPpost that defines Apex REST endpoints that work with a custom object called POST__C.  The endpoints will be GET ‘\/posts’, POST ‘\/posts’, and DELETE ‘\/posts’<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

You can see the partial results here. I\u2019ve also used GitHub Copilot<\/a> with similar results. Coding is a lot more fun, and I feel more productive when I use an AI pair programmer. And I\u2019m not the only observer to bring up the bicycle for the mind<\/em> quote because the whole experience seems magical at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
