Mini Challenge #1 - OpenAI
I asked the bot to create a report on the AI Automation market locally, in Italy.
### Assignment #1:
My biggest AI surprise was—again, heavy hallucination—but this time the AI invented entire Italian tech regulations that don't exist yet, referencing imaginary government funding programs. It presented these as if they were established facts. This was frustrating, as anybody familiar with the Italian tech scene knows that real policies and catalysts in automation tend to lag behind other EU countries!
For the OpenAI part, I started with your suggested prompt. The response was moderately helpful—some interesting observations about the northern industrial corridor and the Milan-Rome tech split, but very vague about actual market players and numbers. The real issue was when it listed local "innovation consortia" that, upon checking, simply don’t exist. This made it very hard for me to trust the summary as reliable to pass on, especially for any serious client work.
### Assignment #2:
This tool will help my business by—helping me quickly scan the landscape for known trends and put together a summarized view of sectors like manufacturing and logistics. It flagged the automotive and fashion automation clusters as hot spots, which I did already know, but it reframed this in the context of post-pandemic digital acceleration.
The biggest value was in using the overview as a jumping-off point to do further, targeted research. The bot helped me see the ongoing challenges with SME digital adoption in southern Italy more clearly and gave me keywords and concepts to pursue, like “Industria 4.0 incentives” (which *do* actually exist, but the explanation wasn’t perfectly nuanced). I can see this working as a first stop for brainstorming, before digging into authoritative Italian sources.
### Assignment #3:
The prompt tweak that worked best was…
I told ChatGPT to assume the role of a European market research analyst with a focus on Italy, and specifically asked it to cite real reports or data, or *clearly* mark where it is simulating or hypothesizing. I gave feedback on my dissatisfaction with fluff about “innovation hubs.” In response, it generated a much more caveated answer, prefacing sections with “Based on available information as of 2023, but concrete data for 2024 may be limited.”
Interesting note: Even after my tweaks, it still slipped in a couple of fabricated consortium names and suggested a startup accelerator that, after checking, doesn’t actually exist. So, fact-checking is still critical.
