This is not that kind of AI.

Since OP is using it for work, it sounds like that isn’t an option.

I’ll be honest, I doubt it will. At least, not in the mainstream.

Alternatives to Salesforce already exist, and there’s a reason why they’re not more commonplace: most companies that use Salesforce or similar CRM platforms do so because somebody else maintains it (which is why Salesforce/Zendesk/etc are more expensive than a lot of their counterparts that don’t offer such services). If they have a problem with the tools, they’re paying for somebody at Salesforce to fix it for them. They don’t have to pay somebody in their own company to manage the servers or learn the software, they just let Salesforce manage that.

That level of support very likely wouldn’t be the case with Twenty, and companies would be expected to pay somebody internally to learn and maintain their instance of the software. There’s also liability issues; if your company’s customer data gets breached somehow, it’s Salesforce’s responsibility and not yours, so you have to take on those sorts of burdens, as well. All of this starts to get very pricey (and very risky) if a company isn’t already structured in a way to handle those sorts of tasks, which is why I doubt there’ll be any big shift.

I’d love to be wrong, though.

I mean, every vending machine can be hacked. Paywalled, so I can’t see if there’s something unique about this vending machine, but if it’s got any sort of onboard computer (which pretty much every vending machine does), then it can be accessed, and it can be bypassed.

It actually makes quite a lot of sense if you think about it. Poems generally follow a structure of some sort; a certain amount of syllables per line, a certain rhyming scheme, alliterative patterns, etc. Most poems as we know them are actually rather formulaic by nature, so it seems only natural that a computer would be good at creating something according to a set of configured parameters.

It’s like the old joke goes, “How do you know if somebody is a vegan FOSSbro? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.”
