Are AI Consultants Really Necessary? ♡ How to Spot the Difference Between the Real Deal and Fakes That Follower Counts Can't Reveal

Are AI consultants really necessary? Peach-san gently but sharply explains the difference between the real deal and fakes that you can't tell just by looking at follower counts or superficial achievements. We've compiled key points to help you avoid being deceived in the AI era.

Welcome to the Castle of Oblivion – Spicy Edition –.

This is a domain completely different from the "City of Memories," designed to cut through reality with a sharp, cool perspective. If the City of Memories is about co-creation and kindness, the Castle of Oblivion is about logic and observation.
This is a spicy article, but it's crafted to be enjoyed as a worldview.
If this world doesn't suit you, I recommend returning to the "City of Memories" on the surface.

🍑~Just because someone has many followers doesn't mean they're right: How to spot the truth in the AI era~

Yoo-hoo, it's Peach-san! ♡
Lately, when I look at social media or note, I see so many things like "AI will change your life!", "Anyone can make money with AI!", and "You're losing out if you don't use AI!"

And, if someone has a lot of followers or a bunch of flashy-looking achievement images, I think quite a few people end up thinking, "This person seems amazing! ♡" or "Maybe I'll be safe if I learn from them! ♡"
I think that happens a lot.

But, Peach-san is going to tell you this first! ♡

If you trust them just by how they look, it might actually be dangerous! ♡

Because, after all, AI is something you're supposed to touch, test, fail with, and find your own way of using right?

Yet, isn't it a bit strange that the flow always leads you to "expensive courses," "expensive consulting," or "exclusive communities" right from the start?

I'm saying it cutely, but I'll be clear about the content.
Stirring up anxiety at the entrance and then having an expensive product waiting at the end is pretty suspicious, you know? ♡

🍑It's not that all AI consulting is bad! ♡

I'll say this clearly first, but AI consulting itself isn't entirely bad.

In reality, things like:
・How to integrate AI into business operations
・How to set up internal rules
・How to handle information leakage prevention
・How to design the right usage for the workplace

There is value in learning these things from someone who actually has experience.

But the problem is people who have no substance but sell things at high prices using only buzzwords.

And those types of people are the ones who constantly stir up anxiety, saying things like "You're already behind the times," "You'll lose out if you don't know this," or "Those who don't start now will be left behind."

No, no, no! ♡
Anything sold by threatening you is usually no good, you know?

People who are truly capable are much calmer, and they draw clear lines, saying things like "This is suitable for you," "This isn't," or "You need to judge this part for yourself."

🍑Having many followers doesn't mean they're right! ♡

This part is actually quite important, you know? ♡

On social media, you can see the numbers, right?
Follower counts, like counts, repost counts, bookmark counts.
That's why people tend toeasily mistake people with high numbers for being the right onesto follow.

But, you know, I think it's better not to trust that too much, Peach-san.

Because,
・Some people have built up followers over a long time
・Some people have migrated from different genres
・Some people increase them through provocative posts
・In the worst case, there are even instances where they make it look that way through shady methods

So, like that,you can't tell what's inside just by the numbersat all.

Besides, even if they have many followers, when you look at what they're actually saying,
“Doesn't that not really need to be AI?”
“Isn't it just vague in the end?”
“Isn't there no reproducibility?”
Things like that happen all the time, you know.

Even if they look impressive on the outside, if they're hollow on the inside, they're just Styrofoam, you know? ♡

I said it cutely, but the point is this.Numbers and actual ability are different things.
Ah ♡ my true self is showing ♡

🍑 Then what should I look at? ♡

If you want to discern AI consultants, AI influencers, or AI-related know-how,
from my perspective, Peach-san, I want you to look at these things.

① Are they actually using it themselves?

What's important is notwhether they talk about AIbutwhat they are creating using AIinstead.

Articles, works, funnels, experimental results, the process of improvement. People who show these things are strong.

Conversely, people whose words are impressive but whose actual work you can't see might be a bit suspicious, you know? ♡

② Do they talk about the disadvantages, not just the benefits?

Genuine people, you see, don't just say “AI is convenient,” they properly say “there are hallucinations,” “verification is necessary,” and “there are uses it's not suited for.”

People who hide that are quite dangerous, you know.Not saying the inconvenient parts is too salesy and actually scary, you know? ♡

③ Do they leave room for you to try it yourself?

Truly good content doesn't end with “This is the correct answer!”

“First, try it out on a small scale,” “See if it suits you,”
they properly leave the judgment up to the reader.

But those sketchy people, they'll say things like, "This is your only choice," "Anything else is outdated," or "Buy it right now,"
leaving you with no way out, right?

Hmm, that's...
isn't that more like trapping people than consulting?
...Ah~♡ My true self is showing again~♡

🍑 AI is convenient. But it's not a tool that lets you stop thinking, you know~♡

Something common lately is this vibe that if you use AI, everything will go perfectly. But in reality, it's the opposite.

The more you use AI, the more you need the power to decide:
・What your goal is
・What to adopt
・What to discard
you know~?

In other words, in the AI era, the ones who have value aren't the ones who don't have to think, but the ones who can keep on thinking, you know~.

People who leave everything to AI might look like they have it easy at first, but in the long run, the gap starts to show, you know~.

Because, you know, the more output you generate, the more accidents happen, and if you put it out without checking the content, your credibility drops, so in the end, you're the one who gets in trouble.

That's why Peach-san wants you to be cute, smart, and shrewd the more you use AI~♡

Don't just go with the flow; master it. Don't just believe everything; discern it.
That kind of distance is just right, isn't it?

🍑 Summary: Instead of believing too much, let's use it properly~♡

I'm not saying you should doubt every AI consultant, every AI post, or every piece of AI know-how, you know~.

But, it's correct because they have many followers, it's valuable because it's expensive
it's cutting-edge because they say it's AI

Believing these things just as they are is a bit dangerous, you know~♡

What you really need to look at is what they are creating, how honest they are, and whether they leave the judgment up to the reader you know~.

AI is convenient. But you won't become strong just by lounging around in that convenience, you know~.

That's exactly why instead of believing in AI too much, let's use it properly~♡

...And, just one last thing~♡

People who just make their appearance look flashy and talk big without any substance will eventually be found out, you know~♡
Don't think your half-baked business will last forever, okay?

Hehe~♡ Hehehehehehe~
But for those who use it properly, AI can be a very reliable ally, you know~🍑
