When ChatGPT validates your personal brand?

Is this validation your personal brand has jumped up a level, when ChatGPT recognises you and your alter ego and plays back to you what you want to be known for?

Recently I asked ChatGPT about the Bearded Sales Guy and she, we fondly call ChatGPT Viki in our house. Viki was the sinister AI in the film iRobot, Viki stands for Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence.?

Here’s how the conversation went. ?

Do you know the Bearded Sales Guy?

Yes, the "Bearded Sales Guy" refers to Ali Reda, a car salesman who achieved significant recognition for his remarkable sales records. He is known for setting a new world record in car sales, surpassing the previous record held by Joe Girard. Reda's approach to sales emphasizes strong customer relationships and a deep understanding of client needs, which has contributed to his success in the highly competitive automotive sales industry. His achievements have made him a notable figure in the realm of sales and customer service.

Okay, so clearly that’s not me, unfortunately the original Bearded Sales Guy has passed away so I no longer have him as competition R.I.P OG BSG!
