Dangers of not adopting AI strategies?

Tldr: I need to know how AI is threatening different types of businesses. Please share your perspective. I'll reply to every comment.

Hi, this is for anyone concerned with how to respond to the emergence of new AI tools. (to grow instead of going out of business, find opportunities instead of getting beat by competitors, etc.

I need to find the best ways to use AI to give my clients an advantage. (I’m a mod at r/writingservice & a content/brand strategist.)

Not just automation. That's weak. I mean innovation. Using AI to do stuff that has never been done in your industry.

Lots of virtual assistants (for business owners) will make the mistake of learning how to use these tools only in a general way, without applying them in the real world. I don’t want to make that mistake.

It will help me if you share what’s on your mind, what’s unique about the way AI affects your industry, or your unique business model, etc.

So this is basically like an informal research study. And it's the kind where you get something if you participate - I will seriously spend time to offer the best stuff I know in the comments if you just share your perspective, how AI is affecting you in the unique way you are situation in your industry and among your competitors.

Have you been finding ways to incorporate AI in your marketing, customer service, etc.?

I have a feeling a lot of business owners are worried right now, because all our experience is from the old landscape prior to everything being automated with AI.

Even if you have questions on your mind and share them, that can help me.

My problem: I’m learning to use GPT/Gemini/Invideo/Perplexity and others, but it’s not good enough until I see how they apply in different situations, industries, business models.

If you share some ideas, I’ll reply to every comment and try to offer something helpful.

I’ve already made a lot of progress learning how the strengths/weaknesses of different AI tools for different situations.

Thinking about the way their competitors might surpass you by using them, or about opportunities for you to surpass them.... what concerns are on your mind? Or what have you learned, what are you doing, etc.
