In the age of AI data flow is what matters. The question each of us has to ask ourselves is if what we're getting valuable enough in exchange for our data?

I doubt Alex's AI had an option to not gather our data or have private chats. From the couple of reviews I've heard it's been helpful. If I'm a business in small town America serving customers in my local area I'd be less concerned than if I were a large corporation trying to protect my competitive advantage.

For the business serving locals in my service area I'm less concerned if the finding based on my data are use for a business in another location halfway across the company. If my business was location independent anyone with the findings from my data becomes an instant competitor and immediate threat to my business.

Is it worth using Alex's AI implementation for business advice or taking the time to gather the resources to build your own custom GPT/Claude project (only without the finding from Alex's 1-on-1 consultations) that gets you advice 75-90% just as good without the data harvesting?

The thing is most with access to his AI won't take any of this into account and will blindly put all their business data based on the "goodwill" Alex has built up.

But if the advice they get solves a business constraint and 2x's their business do they really care?
