AI, in its current form, has now been with us for three full years.
Since we first felt the shockwaves from the ChatGPT 3.5 launch on
November 30, 2022, we have been tinkering with and using LLMs.
We have found these models helpful for questions large and small,
and LLMs certainly helped create efficiencies in approaching our
process, but we had not yet systematically integrated AI into our
research process. As the tools evolved, we believed it was necessary
to both experiment and formalize where AI adds value, and where
it does not. On this journey, Elliot and his co-host John Mihaljevic
recorded a fascinating podcast with Samir Patel of Askeladden
Capital. Samir has been incredibly thoughtful in developing and
articulating the way he has infused his process with AI.
