Topics
Alex Schleifer: 我认为Chegg公司是第一个被AI技术严重冲击的案例,它严重依赖于谷歌的搜索结果,而AI概述的出现对其业务造成了极大的损害。Chegg的商业模式过于单一,与ChatGPT的功能几乎完全重叠,因此极有可能被AI技术彻底取代。随着AI技术的发展,许多依赖于特定技术的公司,例如数据可视化公司和SaaS公司,都可能面临与Chegg类似的困境。 Brian Morrissey: 我认为谷歌的垄断地位正在逐渐减弱,它需要通过产品创新来保持竞争力,这可能会影响到生态系统中的其他公司。Chegg的问题不在于谷歌,而在于AI技术的进步。谷歌需要做出产品决策,这可能会影响到生态系统,但谷歌必须做出产品,而产品的改变意味着技术和用户界面的变化。 Troy Young: 许多依赖于特定信息类型的公司,例如Stack Overflow、WebMD和Quora,都可能因为AI的出现而受到冲击。依赖于常青内容的网站,例如食谱网站和CNET,也可能受到AI的影响。许多SaaS公司也可能因为AI的出现而面临挑战,因为AI可以轻松地构建许多SaaS公司提供的功能。AI技术的发展可能会对电子邮件营销行业造成冲击,因为AI可以帮助用户更好地管理邮箱,从而减少对电子邮件营销的依赖。
