As someone who does a lot of your technical DD for data, I’m going to ask all of you to stop asking about “generative AI,” “AI,” or otherwise until you know what these words mean. This is a post close topic only. Meme for my sanity.

OP, this has always been the case. During the crypto boom, everyone went crazy about Web 3.0, NFT’s, blockchain, etc.

Such trends are driven by FOMO of investors who want to ride the wave, it’s unfortunately a part of the job

You ain’t wrong

Genuine question though have you begun to implement AI in your technical DD? Where have you adopted it?

like

We have initiated a process to do just this. Many people are thinking about/in work to do the same. We’re lean as a boutique so it becomes a little easier with less bureaucracy.

It will be fun when a deal goes bananas because an analyst used hallucinated financials in their models.

Lol, this was me yesterday!! Assuming that using AI in DD will solve all data problems.

What’s your point?

Brah, the amount of PEs asking us about AI work just this last week is at an all time high.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
