How OpenAI and Google See AI Changing Go-To-Market Strategies — Or, How to Overcomplicate the Bloody Obvious

Right, so apparently OpenAI and Google are out here again, paddling their tech dinghies down the River of Hype, flapping their arms about how artificial intelligence is going to “revolutionize” go-to-market strategies. No shit, Sherlocks — next you’ll tell us water is wet. The whole bloody article is a shiny PR parade about how AI is the messiah that’s going to solve sales, marketing, and customer engagement. Meanwhile, anyone with half a working neuron knows it’s just spreadsheets with extra attitude and a few LLMs duct-taped on.

OpenAI’s lot are jabbering about new ways to tailor pitches and automate customer outreach using ChatGPT-like models. So basically, a glorified spambot with more polish and fewer Nigerian princes. They want sales teams to “leverage conversational intelligence” — which is corporate for “get a bot to write bullshit emails faster than your intern can hit send.” Great. Just what the world needs: more marketing sludge written by a machine that says “synergy” without puking.

Meanwhile, over at Google, they’re waffling about “personalized customer journeys” and “data-driven insights.” Translation: they’re watching every bloody click you make, predicting what crap you’ll buy next, and feeding it back to the sales drones who’ll pretend to know you. The end goal? To turn your buying experience into a seamless hellscape of creepy relevance. Because nothing says progress like a toaster ad that knows your underwear size.

The gist of it all? AI is the new swiss-army knife for anyone with a marketing budget and zero shame. OpenAI and Google want to automate your sales team, your marketing team, and probably your soul while they’re at it. Sure, it sounds genius — until one of these chatbots starts “optimizing your funnel” by sending nudes to potential leads. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

So yeah, according to these titans, AI will “streamline” strategies, “enhance personalization,” and “drive efficiency.” Translated from buzzwordese: it’s going to help companies sell you crap faster, cheaper, and with fewer actual humans involved. Fantastic. Can’t wait for the machine to upsell me toilet paper while apologizing in perfect natural language.

Reminds me of the time a manager told me “automation will make our jobs easier.” Two months later, the system they implemented auto-sent 10,000 “Dear [FIRSTNAME]” emails to the customer base. I laughed so hard I nearly rebooted the mainframe with my forehead. Some people never learn.
