  1. I actually want more of this. I want ai companies to land all sorts of highly visible contracts with low stakes that they publicly flub. I want everyone to understand this shit doesn't work before it's integrated into something life threatening, like, say, hospital scheduling.

    Gamescom's app added an AI feature this year and it did not go well. Folks were overwhelmed with automatically generated meeting requests that they did not want. It generated a lot of stuff, but not value.

    They just sent everyone an apology email and disabled the AI.

    Hello Robin-Yann,

We tested a new feature today - the AI meeting generator. The aim was to suggest suitable business contacts based on your profiles and make it easier for you to plan your trade fair contacts.

However, your honest feedback shows us that this feature does not provide the desired added value. We have therefore decided to completely remove the automatically generated meetings from your profiles.

Thank you for your openness. Your feedback is a central component of our further development - together we will make the platform better.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Your gamescom team

 
Your schedule is updated - sorry
